Posted on by CHANEYLWC

Hello all, I have created a flow that when an email arrives with an attachment, that a file (the sent attachment) is created in a shared folder. My issue is that, once the file is created in the folder it will not open. The error is depicted below (last image).

Hi @CHANEYLWC

You must specify the file extension when you define the File Name.
For example:
[Attachment Name].xlsx

Thanks, I am not sure if that is it. Every time t test the the flow, the files download to the folder, but every time I try to open any format doc that is downloaded, it will not allow me to read and gives me error.

Hi @CHANEYLWC

Set the include attachments in the trigger to yes.
You need to add Get Attachment (V2), select the dynamic content Content Bytes returned by Get Attachment (V2) in the file content field of the Create file.
And the dynamic content attachment name itself carries the file suffix, you don't need to add the suffix manually.

Best Regards,

Levi
