I have a problem creating a flow. All files for the flow are in a sharepoint. In an Excel list, I call up various information such as name, surname, e-mail and also the file name of the e-mail attachment. The e-mail attachment is also stored on the Sharepoint in a different underlying folder. How do I include the attachment in the flow?
The whole flow works fine. However, when I let the attach file be selected dynamically like,
the flow runs into an error:
Without a dynamic attachment (hard coded) it runs through without error:
Here the eMail result - hard coded attachement:
Any idea how to select the attachment dynamicaly?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards

You'll want to use this specific action ...
... there are two and the one I have shown is the one you'll need to use.

TL;DR: I want to extract an Excel attachment from an Outlook message, automate an Excel script on the unprocessed reports, and then send the output in a new email message.
I have reports from Amazon that I have sent to a specific email on my Outlook folder each month.
I set up Power Automate to trigger whenever an email with an attachment is received in this folder.
I want to take the attachment in this Outlook email and run an Excel script that I build on Excel Desktop (not an Excel application macro) to format the data.
And then I want to send the output/result (scripted email attachment) as the body of an email out to clients.
I've gotten the first and last parts to run, but I can't get the script to process the file, that's the phase that always breaks that automation.
Things that I think might be causing the issue:
Do I need to extract the attachment from the email and save it as a file before I can run the Excel script on it?
Does the attachment need to be saved through Share Point to be later referenced by the Excel script?
Does the script need to be on the same or different cards as previous steps?
I've seen people run the Excel script through a Scope.
I've also looked at every available YouTube video to troubleshoot this: some go over certain steps in the process, but I'm having a hard time threading everything together.
Other Things I've Tried
I also tried to build a macro that does the same thing as my Excel desktop automation, and then wrote VBA code so each time a new sheet is opened the same macro is run, processing the data. But I couldn't get it to run on any new future sheet that I open, even when writing the VBA auto-open code in Module as well as This Worksheet.
I'm open to any method that will make this work.
Get email (V2) - Message ID
#{triggerOutputs()?['body/id']}
Apply to Each - Select an output from previous steps
#{outputs('Get_email_(V2)')?['body/attachments']}
Create File - File Name
#{items('Apply_to_each')?['name']}
Create File - File Content
#{items('Apply_to_each')?['contentBytes']}
Move or rename a file - File (make sure you add .xlsx for Destination File Path)
#outputs('Create_file')?['body/Id']
Run Script - File
#outputs('Move_or_rename_a_file')?['body/Id']
Get file content - File
#outputs('Move_or_rename_a_file')?['body/Id']
Send an email (V2) - Attachments Name-1
#outputs('Move_or_rename_a_file')?['body/DisplayName']
Send an email (V2) - Attachments Content - 1
#body('Get_file_content')?['body']
Can I configure an alert when a TFS Label is created ? I don't find that option in the current predefined alerts. These are the ones I found:
And I want when a label is created:
Send an email notification.
No, this is not possible using the standard Alert features.
I created my own solution! I don't know how much access you have to your on-premise TFS instance, but you need to be able to execute t-sql scripts against the TFS mssql database. My solution is here: https://github.com/Antebios/tfs-label-notification
And when anyone creates a TFSVC label I get an email alert that looks like this:
Basically, I created a database trigger to populate a table. I query that table and send an email out, then mark the label as sent. I also have a trigger to delete form that table just in case the label gets deleted. I wrote the service in .NET Core just in case anyone wants to convert it to run within a container. Let me know if this helps or not.
i have above mentioned case happen at our company, they need to know under certain folder whether its shared or not if any files inserted or removed or update to send alert by email periodically for that action, any thought an ideas please
You can fairly easily create an application in C# that monitors a folder using the FileSystemMonitor class:

With that you can then have it perform whatever actions you want.
How do I run/call/kickoff an external program (custom code) whenever certain attributes or objects are added or modified in OpenDJ’s database?
Here is my real world need. (Feel free to change my thought direction entirely).
Whenever a new email address gets created or changed in the OpenDJ database I want to initiate some java code that does some email verification/validation (send the “click here” link with a token to prove the user owns the email they just signed up with).
I know, I could use OpenIDM/AM to accomplish this but to take this a step further I need to validate other information and other credentials (custom) which users supply that are not supported by OpenIDM/AM suites.
Initiating/calling custom code upon ADD or MODIFY of specific objects and attributes is what I want and would like to know how to accomplish this. Preferably without having to scrape logs.
Please Help.

OpenDJ has a plugin interface where you can plug Java calls on Add or Modify. A sample of this kind of plugin is the attribute uniqueness which verifies that some attributes have a unique value in the directory.
The plugin interface javadoc can be found here : http://docs.forgerock.org/en/opendj/2.6.0/javadoc/org/opends/server/api/plugin/DirectoryServerPlugin.html
How would you suggest working with files that is stored on the note of a entity in Crm. Could you write a generic method that will enable you to access any type of file? Or would it be better to have a method for dealing with each type of file?
For example, we are going to be saving a mix of swf files and xml files on the entity, so would it make sense to have a method each for example:
GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
When you upload an attachment to CRM the mimetype is also saved as part of the record information.
The following link contains a nice example of how to download the attachemt using a single method. http://crmscape.blogspot.com/2009/10/ms-crm-40-sending-attachments-to.html
The post is missing the actual query needed to retrieve the annotations but you can tell what columns are required from the method signature.
My suggestion using your methods:
* GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
* GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
Retrieve account activitypointers by regardingobjectid(in your case accountid guid)
Loop through returned activitypointers
Get attachments for each activitypointer (activitypointer.activityid = activitymimeattachment.activityid)
Store attachments (disk, etc)
You don't even need two methods. You can retrieve all attachment file types for a given note (annotation) with a single method.
Hope this helps.
I recently started an Open Source Project on CodePlex to accomplish exactly that. Feel free to check out the Project's Web Page at:

You can also view the source code under the "Source Code" tab of that same page.
