    Hi @s3135977 

     

    Thank you for posting.

     

    According to your description, you are able to save PDF file from email but unable to open it from SharePoint. If any misunderstanding, please kindly let me know.

     

    If that’s the case, we should add ‘get attachment’ action before create file. If we extract property from ‘when an email arrived in shared mailbox’, we won’t get correct content and the file will always corrupt.

     

    Here is the flow for your reference:

    Hope the content above may help you.

     

    Thanks
