Attach Outlook Item as an attachment in Send Email (V2) action

Posted on by
Hi Support Team,

I want to create an automated email containing an Outlook item file (.msg) as the attachement. Currently, I've tried to work this out by saving the Outlook item files I want to attach in the email on OneDrive. Then, I applied "Get file content" action to extract the target Outlook item file and sequentially applied "Send an Email (V2)" action to refer the extracted file as the email attachment.

However, after I saved and tested the flow, seems everything worked well but the attached Outlook item in the email can not be opened. I noticed that the .msg file type was automatically converted into .file file type. I wonder how I can remain the file to be .msg file type after scheduling the email. 

Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions, thank you so much!

    Hi 
     
    Try the Export email (V2) action to export the email as an .eml file, before attaching:
