strip out non utf-8 characters from string

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 80

I'm using the Get emails (V3) action to fetch Outlook emails to clean them up before storing them to a blob container. GeV3 returns a json representation of the email and one of the keys "body" contains the contents of the email. how can I remove non utf-8 characters from strings in power automate? the email body in some of the emails contain emojis and I want to strip them out before saving them to blob storage. Some of the files are giving my python app grief when I try to load them. When I paste the json string into a validator, it checks out, but for some reason the python is choking. 

 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
