Null data returns when creating item from "Parse JSON"

Hi.

 

The test is good.

But null data returns when creating an item.

sjals93_1-1720586538713.png

"item/Title": "@body('Parse_JSON')?['summary']",
"item/Description": "@{body('Parse_JSON')?['items']}@{body('Parse_JSON')?['additional_items']}",

 

Every data from "Parse JSON" is null.

 

----------------------

JSON data (attached)

 

{
"type": "Microsoft Power Automate Community",
"summary": "Forums",
"items": "Get Help with Power Automate",
"additional_items": "Building Flows",
}

 

----------------------

Let me know why, please.

    @sjals93 You might be interested in this YT Tutorial linked below where I cover how to save attachments from Outlook to SharePoint.

     

    Save Email Attachments to SharePoint with Microsoft Power Automate

    Power Automate doesn’t have a download attachment from outlook action. In this Power Automate Video tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the Get Attachment (V2) action in combination with the Create File action to get your email attachments onto SharePoint.

     

    The Create File action will overwrite any files that already exist with the same name. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can append a timestamp to the end of a file name to prevent your file from being overwritten.

     

    I’ll also show you how to set up your flow so that you can trigger it manually while building it so you don’t need to wait for an email to arrive. At the end of the video I’ll show you how adding trigger conditions to your flow can prevent it from triggering if certain conditions aren’t met. Although the final flow uses the When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2) trigger, you can use any of the When a new email arrives triggers for your flow. Adjust this flow to suit your needs!
