Can someone help me as to why my PDF attachment sent via Outlook (V2) is not sent as PDF in email? The file type sent is just a "FILE".

    Hello @cjreyes 

     

    Try adding ".pdf" i.e. "PMA AOIS.pdf" in the FileName and see if it resolves the problem.

    Thank you so much! It worked! Is it okay if I ask another question? I created an HTML table, however, on the maturity date, I want to remove the timestamp. Also, would you know how to put commas in amount? Please see flow. 

     

    Email output:

    Flow: 

    cjreyes_1-1673331414271.png

     

    Wherein values are :

    MaturityAmount - items()['MaturityAmount'] 

    MaturityDate - items()['MaturityDate']

     

    Thank you so much!

    @cjreyes - You can use "formatDateTime()" expression - MaturityDate 

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/power-platform/power-automate/how-to-customize-or-format-date-and-time-values-in-flow

     

    You can use Format number - formatNumber(number : number, format: string, locale?: string)
