How To Send Multiple Attachments via Email in Power Automate

Let me show you how I built a flow to handle multiple emails attachments in Power Automate. Learn how to construct the object and therefore the array required by the Send Email Action of Power Automate. I will then demonstrate how you could filter the attachments in your document library and send unique multiple attachments to different customers.

Such a crisp explanation!! Thank you sir! Working on a transit customer experience initiative that requires adding attachments for issues reported by riders.

I personally tend to avoid variables and try to make my flows as simple as possible but I guess each to their own ideas, if it works, it works.

[@saradachellam3185]

Thank you so much Damien, this is really neat! I tested your flow and it works in sending multiple attachments in PDF format. However can these attachments be embedded in a table in Outlook? When I send out these attachments in MS Outlook, each PDF file is embedded in a 2 column table to make it more presentable. So if there are 10 PDF files to be send out daily, the table will have 10 rows in a 2 column table , where 1st column is name of the report and 2nd column is the corresponding PDF file attachment. The videos for creating HTML tables doesn't really show embedding attachments. Would really appreciate any guidance you can give here. Thank you so much!

[@DamoBird365]

Sounds like an interesting challenge. I don’t know how to do that but understand your requirement. I can’t promise when but I will add this to a backlog of ideas. Ideally you want to see what the html of an email in outlook looks like.

Hello Damien, I was trying to figure out almost the same flow but with some differences. My flow starts with a PowerApps(V2) trigger, since it will be a button in Power Apps that will trigger the flow. I have an attachment control taken from any SharePoint list available in your databases. It’s an array of files that is dynamically added by the user of the app. What I’m trying to figure out is how to get that array of files, let’s say the user adds 3 files to the attachment control, and send them by e-mail as attachments. Would it be similar to this demo? Even if the files will probably be from either OneDrive or SharePoint. Thanks!

Was this the 'This exceeded the maximum size '209715200' bytes allowed' error? Basically the array is too big? I had this too - solved by doing the list excel rows first, before anything else, and using the 'filter query' option in 'Get files (properties only) so that generates the attachment array for each email / row in the spreadsheet rather than doing one big array and filtering that. Also needed to put the array in a variable because of the nested apply to each, but it worked for 244 files (each email 4 attachments).

Do you get an error? I don’t know the exact answer but a SharePoint private channel is another SharePoint site.

[@loloroxoutloud1]

No error, it will just leave off the files. I switched back my share point links to a different site and it worked fine. Might be a different issue but that’s the only difference I’m aware of

[@nawal7721]

what if there are no attachments submiited via a form for e.g. will this flow fail?

[@DamoBird365]

The flow will not fail. The compose will be empty and therefore no attachments will be sent.

Thank You for this instruction. I try you instruction and other, but everytime files comes empty. What I do wrong?

[@DamoBird365]

You will need to provide more detail? How do you know the file is empty? An error? Check back on your flow history and expand each action. Try and follow the data being created. If you are still stuck, email me [e-mail] or try the forum.

@@DamoBird365 Files comes to my email. I see attachments, but when I open files I see the blank pages. Files in sharepoint folder is correct, with data(but its created from other flow) on email files blank. I use trigger "when a file is created in a folder"

[@DamoBird365]

drop me an email with some details and I will take a look. Are your files word/excel/text? You need to check that the file content is being supplied OK and that you have included the file extension. Look back at the history. Failing that send me some screenshots :-)

[@JMC2727]

You may have worked it out, but I had this issue earlier today and the problem was with the quotation marks in the attachment array. I had, "ContentBytes": "the dynamic content variable" but it should be "ContentBytes": the dynamic content variable. I hope this helps you or someone else.

First of all, thank you for this educational video.

Hey friend, can you create a flow that send an entire folder full of pdf files, the flow must be able to select from many folders named by date for example folder 02-01, 02-02, 02.03......... etc

[@DamoBird365]

I’m sure it would be possible. If you can define the file paths dynamically, you could loop through the exact paths using get file content using path. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#get-file-content-using-path

[@clarencemartantonio4708]

Hi I did everything correctly, the email was sent, but no attachments what do you think is the problem

[@DamoBird365]

Your attachments are an array, based on the the get items. I would suggest you look at the last compose action, is there an array or attachments? If not, you have a problem further up the flow. Look in the apply to each, does each of the compose actions contain a file content? If not, look at the get files? Does it return any files?
