E-mail attachment format breaking (Forms / OneDrive / Email)

Good Afternoon All -

 

I am working on creating a flow that will take the submissions from a MS Form and complete the following tasks each time a new one is submitted:

1.  Populate a MS Word template and convert the output to a PDF

2.  Save the created PDF into a OneDrive folder

3.  Attach the PDF as an attachment to an e-mail

 

I had this all working on Friday, was messing around with it today and for some reason the PDF formatting is getting lost on the e-mail attachment specifically.  The file that is being save into the OneDrive folder is perfect.  The attachment is blank with no file extension and I cannot figure it out for the life of me as to what I did wrong... Help?

    In your send email action. You are passing the ID as the filename.

     

    Can you try to pass in the filename with extension?
