Hello all,

I have 2 flows in place:

Flow Nr.1 – When an email arrives at a specific user inbox then I create an item at a SharePoint online list “A” and I attach also the attachments at the list item (if they are any).

Flow1.2.png

Flow1.3.png

Then there is another flow (Flow Nr. 2) which when an item is created at the SharePoint Online list “A” then it send an email along with the attachments:

Flow2.1.png

Flow2.2.png

Flow2.3.png

Flow2.4.png

The problem is that when the email arrives at Oulook:

The attachments cannot be opened, it says
The pictures are not visible and have the below warning:

Flow3.1.png

any suggestions of how to correct this and to be able to open the attachments at Outlook?

any

Hi @kouliscon ,

We should use base64() function to convert the attachment content into base64 code, for example:

base64(outputs('Get_attachment_content')?['body'])

hello @v-litu-msft

thank you for your recommendation, I tried what you told me and even thought it takes it when I save it, when I look again it obviously reverts back to the the original, see below

thank you in advance.
