Hi, I have created .Docs file from Ms flow on OneDrive but at open time the file i am getting a error "Sorry, this document can't be opened for editing.

I am trying to solve the problem where I Have to generate a word docs file while someone save the account records. (Note: word docs should have grid data also)

for that I am creating a word document for account entity on save in notes(TimeLine) from workflow. which I have already setup with word file template also.

Now for saving the records i am trigging a Ms cloud flow at ADDED in entity Notes.

here are images.

I was trying to do pretty much the exact same thing has you! Here's what I did:

On the Create File step in the File Content, you need to use base64ToBinary() on the dynamic content.

This is what mine looked like:
base64ToBinary(triggerOutputs()?['body/documentbody'])
Once I did that, everything was gravy!

I know you said you've tried it, but make sure you are using the correct field names in the base64ToBinary(). Peek at the code on the Create File step to see what it should be.

Hope this helps!

I am seeing exactly the same issue, 'Sorry this document can't be opened'. I have tried the suggestion of using Base64ToBinary() but no luck. Any inputs?
