Send content from an email attachment to S3

Hi,

 

I am currently in the process of setting up a flow to send the drop attachments into an S3 bucket when I receive an email in a specific folder in Outlook. Currently the Flow runs and drops the .csv file where I need it to, but it is doing something odd to the contents of the file and the output I am getting in the file in S3 is a bunch of random numbers and letters. Attached are screenshots of my flow (only the second part included, as everything leading up to S3 works fine):

 

I have tried rewriting the 'Content' piece of File Contents into an expression that removes the "?" inbetween the commands, but this didn't seem to work either. At this point, I am thinking that the solution lies in writing a custom expresssion, I am just not sure what it should be.

 

Please let me know if I should include more details and/or screenshots. Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    We are also looking for a connector to post object to S3 bucket.

     

    Please let us know if you have details on how to achieve it.

     

    I tried creating Connector using AWS Rest API (but stuck at Signature v4 creation), tried to use SFTP action but I dont have access to create SFTP on our AWS platform.

     

    Thanks,

    Only post I found regarding S3. Is there a public S3 connector or is it some custom connector? 

     

    Best,

    Philipp

    Hi @v-yuazh-msft, the issue has been resolved. There were delimiters in the .csv file that were corrupting the data itself.

     

    Thank you!
