Manual Trigger (For Selected File ) with Attachment

Hello Everyone, 


I'm quite recent in the flow (and no relevant background in programming) and been experimenting with power automate to automate some of my company's process flow. There is this issue that i been trying to solve but haven't really understand on how to get it done. 

 

I have created an sharepoint approval library in which my team will upload a document for approval. Once they got the necessary approval, the will then click a button to notify some other team member that the document (link is provided in the notification email) is ready and can be transmitted to our client. 

 

This document may or may not come with additional attachment, and i'm trying to have a dynamic attachment content embedded in the flow so that the team can trigger the flow and if they have an attachment, the attachment will appear in the notification email.

I'm not sure what condition to do, so that if the document doesn't come with an attachment, the notification email will not failed. I put a Yes/No toggle as the condition.
