I used the union expression to handle the Attachments and combined both the Word document and other attachments within a single expression. This approach worked perfectly for my case.

I've also attached an image of the flow for reference.

When you initialize the array variable to store the attachments for Outlook, you need to set the default value to the Word document you created. Based on your screen shots, the Word document is not an attachment in your list, which is why it is not included since the apply to each step is based on the attachments. You will need to add another Get file content action after you create the file from the template first before you can set the default value for the variable.

If the Word document generated from the template needs to be an attachment to the list item, you will need to add it to the list before you get the attachments.

Hi

I think you want to append the word to the variable array 'Attachments'.

If so after your 'Create Word Document' action add 'Get file content using path' get the content of the recently created word file from action 'Create word document'.

Then after the loop 'Apply to each' just add new action 'Append to array variable' and append the file 'Display name' and 'Body' to your array variable 'Attachments' same as you did in the loop.

Hope it helps.

When you create the word document, are you attaching it to the list item that you are fetching attachments from?

What I can see from the screenshot is that you are creating a word document after populating the template and are getting all the attachments of the list item and sending it via email.

If you are not attaching the word document to the list item first, that could be the issue.

Please check and see if that is the problem.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
