File corrupting after running flow

Hello,

 

I have a pretty simple flow that takes an email report from outlook and saves it into a SharePoint. I keep getting this error though and i am not sure why. The file is an xlsb.

    @esaul23  use Export Email action just after the trigger When new email arrives, and then save the file to SharePoint

    the subject is OSAS Report and i selected my email. It seems to have failed.

    @esaul23  in message ID parameter of Export Email, provide the message Id from the trigger dynamic content.

    it seems like i am out of private messages lol.

     

    this time the flow failed entirely. Seems like because the file already exists in the sharepoint. i want to override it each day.

    @esaul23  just for testing give another file name just to see if file gets saved successfully

    hey sorry for the delay. i tried it with a different name entirely and a different email/file and it is still saying failed. Very weird.

    Hello @esaul23,

    Try to go with this rather. Delete the flow completely, follow this and create a new one exactly what you see. Then let me know the outcome.
