unable to create a file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MIA27 2

I am trying to create a pdf file and send by email via PowerApp.

The flow is running ok, till creating html and pdf in the OneDrive folder and also sending the email.

When opening the email received as a attachment , the attached pdf is showing error. cannot open.

 

But when I download the pdf created at onedrive, from one drive, the same file is ok. 

Which indicates the selection of "body" is wrong, it is showing 2 body, one under html and one under pdf creation. So I select under the pdf creation one as I marked in the image.

 

Please guide, what is the mistake I am doing.

    Hi @MIA27 

     

    Try using the File Content from convert file action output in Attachment Content. It would help. Like below
