Posted on by NETJustin

The goal is to have a file that is uploaded in a form attached to the approval email so that the person that is review it can easily see if the file can be approved. If the file is approved then it is uploaded to a SharePoint page.

The problem is when I get the approval email, the file that is attached to the email does not have an extension. So I added text to the form so that they know to add the file extension but that doesn't help.

Screen shots are below.

Thank you.

This is the FlowThis is the Approval emailThese are the 2 fields in the form.This is the error when opening the file.

Hi ericschoch,

I also encountered this error before. Try this method below and see if it works:

1. On the "Content", click expression then click base64.

2. After choosing base64, click "Dynamic Content" then choose "attachment content" (or in your case, "File content") then click OK.

Let me know if this works.

Regards
Mikhail
