Attaching a file when sending from a Shared Mailbox (V2)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I had built a flow sending an email with an attached file (PDF) using my own email address and this was OK. I needed to change it to sending from a shared mailbox, and now when I use 'File content' in the Attachments 'Content' and save, it defaults to 'base64' (below). The email arrives but the PDF won't open. Would this be due to where the files are saved in SharePoint? Thanks for any help.

    Hi @Bonniedog2 ,

    It has nothing to do with where the file is stored in SharePoint.

    Please switch to classic designer.

    I have listed two situations. Which one do you need?

    1)Get the contents of files in multiple items:

    {
    "Name":FileName,
    "ContentBytes":FileContent
    }

    2_Get the contents of files in single item:

    If you still have questions, please post a complete screenshot of your flow.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks Sunshine - working perfectly now. Wasn't aware of having to change back to classic.
