Email attachment problem

Hi, I am a new PA user. I've set up a simple flow in which I'm matching a file name in excel file to a file in Onedrive folder to send as an attachment.

 

The flow is working, but the email attachments are not the intended .xlsx or .pdf files but some other kind of file type. I've followed common instructions on how to set this up, researched, and have determined that it should be working, I'm at a loss as to what is happening. Thanks for any help!

    Ok, so 1 thing that I've managed to make progress on... I was typing text in the "Name - 1" box for the email attachment. I changed this and used dynamic content to put Onedrive "Display Name". 

     

    I now received the attachment as intended with the .xlsx but getting a message when opening that the file is corrupted.

    SOLVED! I also needed to switch the toggle to "Old Designer" from "New Designer" because of whatever system bug people have been referencing. I deleted the send email step and re-entered a new one while old designer was running. When I saved and tested, the correct file came through uncorrupted.

     

    Thanks everyone for listening to me solve this problem out loud on the internet! lol
