      Good morning, with everyone.
      Could you help me with the next query, please.
      It happens that in the app we have, we would like you to attach and send by mail the PDF that is generated with the entered data.
      This PDF is currently saved to a OneDrive path and I would like to email it from PowerApps, which is already connected to Outlook 365.
      Attached video of use about the app and the generated PDF
      Thank you very much in advance. 
      A hug!

      Good morning, Mark.
      thanks for the reply.
      I saw the video but still couldn't generate the code to attach the PDF file from OneDrive.
      Just in case, do you have a code for it?
      
      Best regards,

      Buenos dĆ­as, Gustavo.
      Sƭ, el flow consiste en generar un archivo HTML que se adquiere desde power apps y luego lo convierte a archivo PDF. Finalmente, este se almacena en una ruta del OneDrive y aquƭ es donde me gustarƭa que se adjunte este archivo para enviarlo por el correo que se envƭa en automƔtico desde el PwerApps.

      Saludos,

      Jhonatan Ora

      Good morning, Gustavo.
      Yes, the flow consists of generating an HTML file that is acquired from power apps and then converts it to a PDF file. Finally, this is stored in a OneDrive path and this is where I would like this file to be attached to be sent by mail that is automatically sent from the PwerApps.

      Ok,

      Con respecto a la creacion del PDF, tengo una respuesta a otro usuario con esta informacion en caso de que quieras verla.
      Regarding PDF creation, I have a reply to another user in case you want to check it out.Ā 

      https://www.flowug.com/flowusergroup/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=42f85330-f98f-43ae-ba17-4ef5ea9c012b&CommunityKey=1fed0d45-1f4a-4b0c-b1f8-4dd5397a847f&tab=digestviewer&_ga=2.146614065.482255487.1589296465-752521744.1589296465#bm42f85330-f98f-43ae-ba17-4ef5ea9c012b&CLK=07966093-1773-4523-821d-f9bae0250b9e.

      Ahora, el tema del flow y enviar el archivo. Cuando conviertes el archivo a PDF, ahi mismo debes decidir si lo almacenas o si envias el email ahi mismo sin almacenar el PDF en OneDrive. Mis flows usualmente almacenan el HTML y no el PDF. En mi flow veras que despues de crear los PDFs (Orden de Compra y Terminos de la compra) los envio de una sin almacenar, en tu caso ahi deberias tener una accion CreateFile, esto igual no afecta en nada.

      Now, let’s talk about the flow to send the file. When you convert the file to PDF, at that moment you can choose either to store it or to send it right away.Ā I usually store the HTML instead of the PDF. On my flow you will see that after creating the PDFs (PurchOrder and Order Terms) I attach the files immediately without storing them in OneDrive, in your case you should see a CreateFile action, but this doesn’t change the way the email action works.

      Aqui esta mi flow / Here is my flow:


      En los adjuntos solo tienes que apuntar a la accion.FileContent. En mi caso, hago uso de Convert2PDF.FileContent. En tu caso deberia ser CreateFile.FileContent. Recuerda que debes poner el nombre del archivo en Attachment Name.

      At the attachment section you just need to point to the Action.FileContent. In my flow that would be Convert2PDF.FileContent. In your case that should be CreateFile.FileContent. Remember that you must specify an Attachment Name.

      Espero que esto te sirva / I hope this works.

      Dejame saber si necesitas mas ayuda / Let me know if you need more help.

      Saludos / Cheers

      Gus
