Using make.com to send notification with information and photos

CoastalEngineering — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 13:40:13 GMT

Hello

I would like to send an automatic email every time a new data point is added in ArcGIS Field Maps. Using make.com, I’ve successfully set up a workflow that sends an automatic email containing the key attribute information I need, such as the "Road Name" and "Description".

As a next step, I’d like to include any photos captured during the inspection. Our inspectors take pictures at each data point in Field Maps, and these are stored as attachments (.jpg) on the feature. It would be incredibly helpful if these photos could be included in the email, lower‑resolution images would be perfectly fine. If anyone has implemented something similar/can advise on the best approach - please share.

Thank you 🙂

@CoastalEngineering - We do this using PowerAutomate.
There is an action in PowerAutomate to "Get Attachments" that helps us do this.

Looking at make.com, it shows that there is a Make API call action for FieldMaps.
You would make 2 calls - 1) QueryAttachments 2)Download Attachment

You could build up the REST URL using the GlobalID/ObjectID that triggered the process.

Once you have the attachment IDs you can make another call.
https://services8.arcgis.com/xyzxyzxyzxyzx/ArcGIS/rest/services/Asset_Data_Collection_2/FeatureServer/0/27/attachments/5

in the URL above

0=feature sub layer|
27= ID of the parent object
5 = Attachment Object ID

I am unsure how the make.com handles authentication headers (token) etc.

Hope that helps.
