Custom API File Type

Posted on by Fvamaro

I'm developing an app connection with Microsoft Flow.

My app is a document management app (created by me) and the goal is foir example to upload a file from my app to One Drive, using flows.

I have an action that consists when an email is flagged in outlook its attachement is added to azure storage (linked with my app). Flow Flow

The parameters are : Raw Body inputs (FileStream with the attachement content) , Doc_Name (FIle name) , Cont_ID (Reference to the folder from azure where the file's gonna be saved).

THis flow retrives the error 400 (has you can see in the images).

I think it's because the Content type in my app is not the correct one. (I'm using FileStream) Error Error

Hi @Fvamaro,

OneDrive has the corresponding Create File Action.

If here you would like to save Email Attachments into OneDrive folder, then take a look at the template:

Save new Email Attachment to any folder in OneDrive for Business

Besides, you may take a try with the template above, and then change the content type accordingly.

By the way, the Name Dynamic content from the attachment should contain the file type.

Hi @v-micsh-msft,

The point is: I'm integrating flow with an app I've developed.
One of the actions I want the connector to be able to do is get an attachement from a flagged email and add it to my personal storage using Microsoft FLow ( as you can see int the first image).
For this I have to build a method in my asp.NET project to receive the file from the email.

The issue is that I do not know for sure what kind of variable is the content atribute (where the content of the attachement is).

In Other words: (Simplifying the problem)
What I want to know is how Flow connectores exchange files between each other.
When an attachement is saved form Outlook to OneDrive how the information is sent?
How the Content attribute (dynamic value from attachement) is sent and received from Outlook to OneDrive.

Hi @Fvamaro,

The attachments in Microsoft Outlook is stored as an array, you may take a look at the following thread as a reference:
