Using flow copy XML via FTP results in empty XML

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

Hi,

 

When I try to place an XML attachment from mail to a FTP-server the result is an empty XML.

I use this flow in several cases, also with XML, where it works fine.

 

I found out that the problem only occurs when the XML is ISO-8859-1 encoded. When it is UTF-8 there's no problem.

Just to determine if placing it on FTP server is the problem I also tried in same flow to copy file to Sharepoint. Same problem here, resulting in empty XML.

When I manually grab the XML from the mail and copy it to the FTP server there's no problem.

 

What can be done to fix this?

    Solved. Did create the flows not working manually by choosing "Automated Cloud". Created them again by choosing for template "Save attachments in a FTP server when new email arrives in a shared mailbox".
