Sending attachment from folder

Hi,

 

In Power Automate I want to email a CSV file (is located on the hard drive) as an attachment with Send Email (V3).

This is what I got.

The problem when I test this, the attachment file in the email is a .bin file. 

Also tested with "test.csv" in "File name", but when I open the attachment, the only thing I see is a large code in A:1.

 

I have the same question (0)

    @v-bofeng-msft ah thanks. The only problem is that my local folder has a file that change every week. The name of that file is changing. 

    "Get file content" path is the specific name of the file. So when the file name is changing, I get an error. 

    "Get file content" path has to be the folder name instead of file name. 

    How can I make this work.

    Hi @Tinus1905 ,

     

    Please input content type and file name and then try again.
