Hello everyone,

I am new in Power Automate.

I am trying to create a flow to save the attachement from an email (outlook) into a specific sharepoint.

There is a lot of information on this subject online but I can't make the flow work.

Everytime I do a test, the attachement is created in the sharepoint in the right place but it seams like there is no content in the file.

When I try to open the excel, i get an error message : " Unable to open the file because its format or extension is not valid. Please check that the file is not damaged and that its extension matches the file format"

Here is the flow and the error message (in french)

does someone have a solution ?

Thanks,

Hi AD-18100831-0,

Not sure which actions you have used in the flow cause I don't understand the language but here's a really nice video explaining how you can achieve it. If you have not already seen it, it would be really helpful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZe2IYerMYs
