Feature details
If you’ve wanted to attach files to an approval flow, perhaps you wanted to share a copy of a document without having to share a link, or you simply preferred file attachments, this feature is useful.
We are releasing a feature that passes files from a connector action to the approvals action step, so that you can share just enough information that’s needed.
Follow these steps to use this feature:
- Get an attachment via any connector that supports attachments.
- Use the attachment via dynamic content in any action that starts an approval.
- Run the flow.
- Go to the action center or your Microsoft Outlook inbox to see the approval request with the attachment.
- Download the attachment to review it.

In addition, we have added a setting that lets you configure if an approval can be reassigned.
