Appending Multiple Attachments to Email

Hello,

 

I am looking for some help with my Flow. The intention of this Flow is to run a weekly extract of data from two separate tables, containing data from the past seven days, before sending two CSV files to the user. However, I am encountering issues with the final step (Send an email notification (V3)). 

 

What I've done is as follows:

 

Thumbnail 1:

  1. Set recurrence for Mondays at 12AM.
  2. Initialize EmailAddress (users to receive this email)
  3. Initialize StartDateTime and EndDateTime (to determine the 7-day period)

 

Thumbnail 2:

     4. List rows from both Dataverse tables

     5. Select rows

     6. Create CSV

(All steps above this point worked ok in a prior app that only required one attachment)

     7. Create Attachment Array EmailAttachments

  • Name: "Filename1.csv" and "Filename2.csv"
  • ContentBytes: "Output1" and "Output2" (both from the Create CSV step right before)

Thumbnail 3:

     8. Compose Attachment Array using EmailAttachment as input

     9. Send Email Notification

  • Attachment: set to use Content from Output composed
  • Attachment File Name: set to use Name from Output composed

This is resulting in errors when running the flow, which I suspect to be from Steps 7, 8, and 9, but I'm not quite sure what to do. Please help!

@powercrusher You need to use the Send an Email (V2) action. Click on the icon to switch the attachment input mode.

Insert your attachment array variable here.

Hello! Maybe I'm a little new to this, but I'm using the native (?) Microsoft Mail connector and not the Office 365 Mail that you're showing. I think that's why I don't have that option. Are there any alternatives that you know of? Thank you! 

@powercrusher If you need to use the Send an email notification (V3) – Mail action instead of the Send an Email (V2) – Outlook it looks like you are limited to attaching a single attachment. You'll need to combine your csv data into one file.
