Hi there, 

 

I am trying to create a flow to allow me to receive an email including attachments when my Microsoft form is completed, however I received this error:

 

"Action 'Get_file_metadata' failed"

 

Please find my flow below, many thanks

    @JckWhelr , I think you're missing the period/dot ( . ) between "driveId" and "id".

    or if not you can also directly try to get the file content as per the snap below, assuming you can browse till the question id
