Posted on by TeodorTeter

Hello,

Im trying o attach an attachments array in Approval. Im failing each time. Either the file is corrupted or is empty. I tried multiplie solutions from forums

1) Add multiple attachments to an approval email with Power Automate (tachytelic.net) - empty or corrupted file

2) Solved: Re: Power Automate approval with Attachments - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) - corrupted file

3)Solved: Attachment corruption on approval emails - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) - corrupted file

i tried couple other of versions which combines all above and some other treads that i found. each time effect was the same - corrupted or empty file.

i tried making attachments array directly from email attachments, i tried saving them on SP and on OneDrive.

current attempt look like this - effect -> corrupted files. Files that are saved on OneDrive are fine, they open properly.

So you are my last hope - any ideas on how to make it run? Please help 😞

in case its important - All attachments are in PDF

@TeodorTeter

This video has you covered - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/Add-Multiple-Attachments-to-an-Approval/td-p/748527

Having reviewed your screenshot I would expect you need to remove the "" around the base64() expression... as the quotes tell PA that you are adding a string, and therefor it will try to re-encode the content, in affect base64 encoding a base64 string... thus a corrupt file.

Re: Approval with attachement array from email

@Jay-Encodian - it helped! however only while I'm saving the attachment on on OneDrive. and using advanced scenario
{
"name": "file.docx",
"content": {
"$content-type": "application/octet-stream",
"$content":
}
}

Is there any way to make it run directly from email attachments?

@TeodorTeter - Yes, just use attachment content and do not wrap in the base64() expression.
