Issue with SharePoint "Get File Content using Path"

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I'm having trouble with some 'File Not Found' errors when trying to use the SharePoint 'Get File Using Path' connector. Looking through the raw outputs of my flow show it is passing along a usable file path because I can just copy the output and put it into my browser and it works.
 
Entire flow triggers on a Group Form submission, has a switch, creates a task and uploads the form's attachments to the created task. Where I'm getting the error is in the attached image



The Compose is just json(the attachment dynamic variable) to fetch multiple uploads into an array. The apply to each looks at the compose output. The 'get file content using path' variable is set to 'item()?['link'] to fetch the given Link of the current item in the apply to each loop.
 
This works on a different flow I have created so I can't seem to figure out what the issue is here. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
 
 
Edit for additional info:
 
Looking at the failed run, I can look at the parameters that the 'get file using path' is receiving. Copying that link into my browser shows it goes to the correct file in SharePoint, so I know it isn't an issue with the apply to all loop.

    There seems to be an issue with the scanning function of attachments in posts. Please edit your post and paste the images directly into the post instead of attaching them.

    You may need to use an "unencoded URL" in the Get file content using path action. For an explanation and examples about this, please see: How to Get SharePoint File Content in Power Automate: File Paths vs URLs | Troubleshooting – Ellis Karim's Blog
