What are you trying to achieve?
SharePoint – Search for invoice number in list and send file as email attachment
Steps taken so far
Hello everyone,
I am currently building a scenario where I pass an invoice number from Power Automate → Webhook → Make.
In Make I would like to:
Search a SharePoint list for this invoice number.
Find the corresponding list item (column “InvoiceNumber”).
Retrieve the invoice file (PDF / attachment) linked to that item.
Download the file and send it via Outlook email as an attachment.
I have already tested the modules Get an Item and List items.
With “Get an Item” I have to provide an Item ID – but I don’t have that, I only want to search by invoice number.
With “List items” I get the following error:
Validation failed for 1 parameter(s).
Invalid number in parameter ‘limit’.
Even though I set the limit to 1.
My questions:
What is the correct way to find a list entry by a specific field (Invoice Number)?
How do I properly use the OData filter query to search by this field?
And how can I get the attached PDF file from the result so I can use it as a binary in the email step?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
Torsten
