I am getting an error in Get File Content. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong.

 

My flow looks like below

The expression is item()?['id']

    It's 2025 and I'm getting this issue. @abm abm's response with the debug method is what worked for me.

    Hi @b00buu ,

     

    I'm wondering why the get file contents action is out of the loop?

    Hi @b00buu 

     

    Not sure what causing here but I can suggest you a debug method. Remove the Get File Content mapping id and manually select the file from the desired path. Run the flow and see if error occurs or not?

     

    Thanks
