In this article, I will create a flow send uploaded files from MS Form as email attachments

Step-by-Step Guides

Create the Microsoft Form

1. Go to Microsoft Forms

2. Create a new form

3. Add questions

4. Add a “File Upload” question

• Choose “Allow only specific file types” > For example Image, Video (optional)

• Enable “Allow multiple files”

• Set max number of files as needed (e.g., 3)

5. Publish and test your form

📌 Result: Files uploaded via Form will be stored in your OneDrive/SharePoint, depending on where the Form is hosted (personal vs. group form)

Create Power Automate Flow

1. Use trigger “When a new response is submitted” (Microsoft Forms)

2. Form Id: Select your form

3. Use action “Get response details”

• Form Id: Select your form
• Response Id: Select dynamic content “Response Id”

4. Use “Parse JSON”

• Content: Select dynamic content “your file upload question”
• Schema: Write as per below code block

{
    "type": "array",
    "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "name": {
                "type": "string"
            },
            "link": {
                "type": "string"
            },
            "id": {
                "type": "string"
            }
        },
        "required": [
            "name",
            "link",
            "id"
        ]
    }
}

5. Use “Initialize variable”

• Name: AttachmentArray
• Type: Array

6. Use “Apply to each”

• Select dynamic content value from Parse JSON

7. Use “Gett file content using path”

• File Path: Add your MS form file path with dynamic content “Body name” from Parse JSON

8. Use “Append to array variable”

• Name: Select “AttachmentArray”
• Value: Write as per below code block

{
  "Name": @{items('Apply_to_each')?['name']},
  "ContentBytes": @{base64(body('Get_file_content_using_path'))}
}

9. Use “Send an email (V2)

• To: Your desired recipient
• Subject: Text as needed
• Body: Include any details you want from the form
• Attachment: Click “Swith to input entire array”, then use “AttachmentArray” as the attachments input
