Hello. Please, I need help to properly set the Get Attachment from Outlook 365.

 

I'm trying to to automate a post on MS Teams every time I receive an e-mail with attachments. I want to post those attachment's contents into a MS Teams chat.

 

The automation is failing when it tries to Get the Attachments.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

This is where the error occurs in the flow:

This is my complete flow:

    I found a solution. Weird, because I already tried such configuration for Get Attachment.

    So, I created a new flow from scratch, like these and now I "print" the attachment contents into a Teams chat:

    The Attachment Id param is:

    mbx_0-1660229466800.png

     

    mbx_2-1660229255748.png

    In this step I used the following expression to write the file content as a string

     

    decodeBase64(outputs('Get_Attachment_(V2)')?['body/contentBytes'])
