ReportHello everyone, I am having trouble with a canvas app I need to implement.
I want to implement the following functionality:
1. Canvas app that is embedded inside Dynamics 365 model driven app, which retrieves some files from azure blob storage and downloads them.
2. I can only use Microsoft Entra ID authentication in my app for authenticating Azure Blob Storage, and I say this because the connector for Azure Blob Storage has some limitations, and one in particular is that I cannot use AzureBlobStorage.CreateShareLinkByPath(), which is exactly what I needed but is not possible.
What I am currently trying is to also connect a flow that runs when I click a button on the app, in the flow I am making HTTP call using azure blob storage API, and I actually get the file content I need in the flow, as shown in the screen shot below:
The file is in the filecontent variable which I am returning to the canvas app.
For context this is the actual variable.

{
"filecontent": "UEsDBBQABgAIAAAAIQDfpNJsWgEAACAFAAATAAgCW0NvbnRlbnRfVHlwZXNdLnhtbCCiBAIooAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......
}
The string is actually huge I am only inputting the start of it.
After I return this is my app, I was trying to download it:
After I return this is my app, I was trying to download it:
1. I tried Set(downloadLink, "data:application/octet-stream;base64," & filecontent), and then Launch(downloadLink)
2. I also tried Launching the filecontent as it is.
I also tried the Download function as well, but I got an error saying Invalid URL.
What I have noticed is that the filecontent variable that is returned from my flow, is nothing like the string I get when checking the flowruns (as shown in the screenshot above)
