Hello!

I have created a flow that will download attachments from Microsoft List I created to a folder in Sharepoint. When I try to open the file it says it cannot be open because the file format or file extension is not valid. It happens with pdf, Word and Excel files downloaded from Microsoft List using Power Automate Flow.

Please Help!

Thank you.

How are you creating the file in SharePoint? If possible, provide a screenshot of the action that's used to create the file.

Here's a working example.

Thank you Power Outage for taking time to reply to me. I actually was able to resolve it. I forgot one step which is basically the one that you are showing in you in your reply. I just went straight to creating the file instead of getting the attachment content first.
