Issues with Sending PDF Files via HTTP Request in Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Power Automate Community,

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm currently working on a project where I need to send a PDF file using the HTTP Request connector in Power Automate, but I've encountered some challenges that I can't seem to resolve.

Here's the context:

  • I'm trying to send the PDF file to a third-party API using an HTTP POST request.
  • I used the base64() function to encode the file content before sending it. However, when I save the flow, the function gets reset to @{body('Get_file_content')}, which causes the request to fail.
  • I've attempted different approaches, but the issue persists.
Here are some print screens:
 
This is an example that doesn't work on Power Automate, but on postman it does work:
 

I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or resources to help me resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your support and time!
