I need an auto flow that can email an attachment I was reading posts from 2020 that said it could be done but those options seem to be out of date. Can I automatically send attachments automatically via automated flow?
I had to create a Request for Update with the attachments. I just used a star so they could confirm that they received the attachment. That is the only way I could find that would work. I wanted to insure that someone couldn't come back and say that they never got the attachment. So that's why I had them place a star as a confirmation.
I figured it out:
Create Alert flow
Trigger when rows are changed
When an attachment is added/changed
Alert Someone
Who?
Subject?
Message?
Message includes - Links to sheet and specific fields - An attachment.
This will only run when the attachment is added but it does work.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
You can also do this with Microsoft Power Automate - so the flow could trigger when a box is checked on by date. Then you are able to fully customize the email being sent and it's better if you need to audit every email sent, because emails are being sent from you (your Outlook email) and saved in your sent folder.
I helped create a course for this that walks you through the entire process step by step. There are other posts in Knowledge Base about doing this, and even advice about how to set up Power Automate, but it is hard to follow screenshots. Recommend checking out the course!

The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
