Learn all about the file attachments in Power Platform approvals from the

Microsoft Dataverse perspective. Where they are kept. In what format. And most importantly - how to retrieve them in your Power Automate cloud flows or Power Apps!

File attachments in Power Platform approvals allow users to attach files to approval requests. This feature allows users to provide supporting documentation for their approval requests and make it easier for approvers to make decisions. File attachments can be added to approval requests from within the Power Platform (PowerApps, Power Automate, and Power BI). Once the attachment is uploaded, it will be visible in the approval request. The approver can then view or download the attachment as needed. This feature can help streamline the approval process by providing key information to approvers that they may need to make an informed decision.
