Excel files being corrupted once opening

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi there,

 

I have set up a very simple flow which shall get the attachments from items within sharepoint list. Setting the variables was okay, append to array as well, but once I try to open these files (both from approval or from send an email step), the message about corrupted files popped up.

I checked quite a few forums that I shall use base64 expression, but when I use it a save the flow, it immediately disappears and only usual dynamic content stays within the append to array variable window.

 

itemAttachments used for Send an email (V2) action

itemAttachments2 used for Start and wait for an approval action

 

Can anyone help me please?

 

Thanks in advance,

Stepan
