Step: 1<\/strong>\u00a0Add the \u201c<\/span>When an item is created<\/span>\u201d action<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step: 2<\/strong>\u00a0Select the\u00a0<\/span>S<\/span>ite address and List name where an item, along with its attachments, will be added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"img-01\"<\/p>\n

Step: 3\u00a0<\/strong>Add the \u201cInitialize variable\u201d action.<\/p>\n

Assign a name to the variable, such as \u201cAttachmentArray,\u201d and specify its type as an array. This variable will be used to create an array containing all the attachments of the newly created item.<\/p>\n

\"img-02\"<\/p>\n

Step: 4\u00a0<\/strong>Add another action \u201cGet attachments\u201d and add the Site Address and List Name. Set the \u201cId\u201d field to the ID of the \u201cWhen an item is created\u201d trigger using the Dynamic content available on the right, as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"img-05\"<\/p>\n

Step: 7\u00a0<\/strong>Insert the \u201cAppend to array variable\u201d action after the \u201cGet attachment\u201d action, within the \u201cApply to each\u201d loop. Choose the variable \u201cAttachmentArray\u201d as the name, which was created at the beginning of the flow.<\/p>\n
