Get file content Corrupted

Posted on by Dvddddd111

Hi, I am trying to create a very basic flow. It actually needs two steps but in order to debug, I first saved the attachment into my OneDrive and the file is a correct excel. But I just tried all the methods to send an email with attachment, and this file is double size and corrupted.

 

I tried to add base64tobinary but not working. And I tried to use different steps but the final step always send a corrupted file.

    @Dvddddd111 ,

    I noticed that you're saving attachments from an email and then emailing them again.

    Wouldn't it be more efficient to use the Forward email action instead?

    Hi @Dvddddd111,

    Could you please tell me that if you select the FileCotent from the dynamic content of Get file content action?

     

    I think you should get the contentBytes of Email attachment directly from the Get Attachmets.
