Hi,

I have been working on this flow for a while. Basically, when an email send with attachment(s), the flow with that those attachment, and send it to a team approval. I keep getting "file is corrupted or damaged problem when I tried to open the file". Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

You may need to use a different format for the append to Array action:
