Posted on by Guicord101 151

Hi everyone!

I'm having trouble saving .xslx or .xls attachments I get in my sharepoint email.

The file that is saved in sharepoint is corrupted and does not open.

My flow:

My e-mail:

As you can see, the uploaded file was an excel file but the file created in sharepoint is a corrupted file

    File name(i.e. TEST) does not have extension(.xlsx).

    File Name - TEST.xlsx

     

    I would suggest use Attachments Name form Dynamic content. It provide file name with extension like test.xlsx, testing.xls, Data.txt etc.

     

    Here is sample flow

    It worked!!! Thank you very much.

    Would you know how I could rename the attachment to have the following format:

    [default name] - Today's date (shipped)
