Today I was working with an MS Flow, Flow was responsible to trigger email when List Item was added and then delete it. While working on this, I faced issues with checking if List Item has Attachments. Flow has an inbuilt option to check "Has Attachment" column value. I don't know why but somehow it didn't work for me. So, as an workaround. I used "Get Attachments" action. Later, In next step we will be checking if "Get Attachment" returns something in body.
