I've created a flow that will send an email to my group whenever there's a new request from our SharePoint site.

I would like to add/attach an attachment in sending the email from sharepoint list.

I've used HTTP request to Sharepoint. Using this:

Site Address: \sharepoint_site\
Method: POST
Uri: _api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail
Headers: accept = application/json;odata=nometadata
         content-type = application/json;odata=nometadata
Body: { 
       'properties':{
       'To':['[email protected]']
       'Body': 'Hello world!'
       'Subject': 'Request #1'
        }
      }

I don't how to add the attached file from the list. My goal is on every request we will received an email with attachments and the attached file will be automatically delete when the flow is successful.

Any idea on how it will work?.

thanks in advance.

  • Why are you not using Send an email action in microsoft flow like this?

  • Hi @GaneshSanap, I've already tried using Send an email action, it works well, but the From(Send as) address was sent on behalf of me, since I am the one who created the flow. I want [email protected] to be the Send as address which works in Send an HTTP request action.

Another way to do this is using Send Email Action item(outlook 365). Below is how it will look, you can add attachment directly in action by using File content as dynamic data. As you are doing on List with attachments flow would be little long. Below is screenshot for your reference. Just tried this, it is working.

Important note - In below ContentBytes should be added as expression

body('Get_attachment_content').$content

enter image description here

Below action should be outside of ApplyForEach loop.

  • Hi sir, thank you for your answer. :) But if I used that way it will send automatically on my behalf even though I'm not the one who created/adding a request. Since I am the one who created the flow. :)
