Push A-Mail Attachment to Nextcloud, base64 decoded

Posted on by fab_mue

I am trying to build a flow that pushes every attachment received from a specific mailbox to a specific folder in our Nextcloud.

So far I got the flow to take any e-mail attachment and push it to the Nextcloud. (This works via http put to the WebDAV Endpoint of the Nextcloud) The only Problems: The Files pushed to the nextcloud are base64-encoded and so can't be read by anyone using the cloud.

There are the functions

decodeBase64()

base64ToBinary()

within the functions for flows. The only problem: I can't get the Attachments to be pushed trough that function before pushing it to our cloud. When I enter those functions as dynamic content it's only offering me mail text, mail from eg. but not the actual mail attachment.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hey Kris,

thanks for your reply!

Sadly that did not work. Template validation fails with the following message:

The template validation failed: 'The repetition action(s) 'Apply_to_each' referenced by 'inputs' in action 'HTTP' are not defined in the template.'.
It sais that the Apply_to_each is not defined. Do I have to define it somewhere then?

Hi @fab_mue,

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

Within Body field of "HTTP" action, type the following formula:

base64ToBinary(items('Apply_to_each')?['ContentBytes'])

The flow works successfully as below:

The file opens well as below:

Best regards,

Kris

Hi @ fab_mue,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

I would work on it to figure out a way to solve your questions.
