Email with an attachment from SharePoint document library using Microsoft Flow

Hello everyone, in this blog we will discuss on ‘Email with an attachment from SharePoint document library’ using Microsoft flow.

In SharePoint, we have two option for sending an email with attachment either by Workflow or Microsoft Flow service.

Here we will discuss on Microsoft Flow service.

Steps:

1. Create a flow with one of the following trigger actions:

   – When an item is created or modified

   – When a file is created or modified (properties only)

   Here I set to flow with ‘When an item is created or modified‘ trigger action and specify site address and library name (custom list value)

2. This step we get file content by choosing an action: Get file content using path

   – Here we specify the site address and current file path by setting value: Link to item

3. Now we set email action for these we have two email templates: Send an email and Send an email (V2).

   Here I choose Send an Email (V2) action and specify field value: To, Subject and Attachment name and Attachment content.

   Attachment name: File name with extension

   Attachment content: File content

Flow template of above three steps
