Approval Attachments not Showing in Teams

Hi,

 

I am currently working on an Approval flow.  Currently I have the flow automatically triggering when a new list item is created in SharePoint.  Each list item is going to have an attachment.  I have retrieved the attachment content and added it to the Approval step as seen in the screenshot below:

When the flow is triggered I get both an approval email as well as an approval request through Teams.  In the email the attachment is there, however in the Teams request there is no attachment.  From my understanding attachments in Teams approvals is currently supported so I am not sure why it is not showing any attachments through Teams.  Thanks!

wainting for the fix! 

This has been promised to be in the works for quite a while. I've stopped holding my breath waiting for this to get fixed. I don't expect it any time soon.

Hope this issue can be fixed soon. It is not convenience for the end user have to check the attachment in different systems. 

So, this is in no way an excuse for Microsoft not to fix it, but I just created a workaround by using SharePoint, creating the file there, and then creating a shareable link to the document. That worked fine, but is of course annoying that I cannot attach a OneDrive file.

Thanks for your comments @AthenaDepper and all others.

The related attachment is attached on a list item and I do not want to publish the link to the list where it is stored. Is there any way to avoid this (like trigger a download or so)?

What the sharing link does is add an attachment using that link, so yes, it's a download, not an actual link. The downside is, however, if you delete the file (I mean, who doesn't want to keep their sandbox clean?) then you can no longer access that file from the approval process. It's a messy workaround in my opinion, but it's getting the job done for me at the moment.

Hello @ejules !

Just following up to see if you got any news on your support ticket. We are getting lots of pressure from users to see those attachments in Teams!

Thanks,

Charles

Same issue here, waiting for the fix. Meanwhile, we have to create a folder with URL link before starting the approval flow, then provide the URL link and HasAttachment as indicator in approval description, but approver need to open the link (show in SharePoint) if HasAttachment = True then they'll check the attachment, which is not convince to them, as they'll expect they can open the attachment directly from Teams. Hope this can be resolved soon, thanks!

To the best of my knowledge that notification can only be disabled by each user.

Waiting on this also, haven't seen the post in the ideas forum to vote on.

 

Funny that it works on e-mail and not on teams, you should be able to disable the Teams notifications as well, not only in the e-mail, which works best.

 

Microsoft please fix, it has been a while ...

 

Thanks in advance
