Print list attachment

I have a PowerApp that has a SharePoint list as a data source. One of the options in the PowerApp is to create a notification letter for a person with a parking violation. With the click of a button, it updates a SharePoint list item with today's date as the notification. When the notification date changes, a PowerAutomate workflow kicks off to create a PDF document with merged fields from the SharePoint list. I then save this PDF file as a file attachment to the SharePoint list. In the end, each time we notify the violator of their parking ticket, it will add another attachment to the SharePoint list so we can account for each time we send them a letter. What I would also like the flow do is print the newly attached PDF document within the workflow. Sure, we can wait until the item is attached to the list, but I don't want the extra step to click the attachment. Any ideas?

  • Annette1101 Once you generate a PDF file in power automate flow, you can notify violator using an email notification.

     

    You can attach PDF file to email notification as an attachment: 

    Violator can view/save/print attachments sent via email notification.

      We do not have email addresses of the violator, only vehicle data (license plate, make and model) which we verify ownership with the Department of Transportation. We then use the PowerApp to kick off a flow that merges that data into a letter, PDF it and attach back to the SharePoint list. I would also like it to be printed so the manager of the Violation app can mail the letter.
