Hello, lay user here (non-coder),
I have a general question based on an issue I recently had with one of my flows just to help me understand why the solution I tried worked. My basic question is: What is the difference between the actions "Get Attachment Content" and "Get File Content"?
Basically, I have an Approvals flow where I send approvals requests based on a sharepoint list form that users fill out and add multiple attachments to. In order to add the attachments, I had appended the attachment content to an array variable and attached that array to the Approval. It was working fine until recently, when I was editing something else in my Flow unrelated, all of a sudden the Approvals began failing due to the attachment not working properly. I finally figured out that sometimes people use "Get File Content" instead of "Get Attachment Content" within the step where the attachments are appended to the array variable, and that solution worked for me.
I really just don't understand why or even why it had been working fine up until now with the other action, but the "Get File Content" action also works. Is this some type of bug I'm encountering? Because from what I can tell the "Get Attachment Content" action should have worked also.
