"It appears we dont support this file format" - png file in email attach

Posted on by nailepmac

Hi there,

I thought this would be an easy task, but it seems it is not 🙂

I have a PNG file that comes from a PowerBI Subscription on a sharepoint folder (I save this png file with another flow). The folder will always have just 1 file.

I would like to send the file in attach, every 2 mondays by email to some users.

I built a very simple flow: Recurrence ---> Get file Content using path --> Send email (with the content as attach). When I try to open the png in outlook I get the error "It appears we dont support this file format" (when I go to the file which is hosted on the folder it opens with no problem...)

Any ideas?

Hi @nailepmac ,

There is no need to use base64 expression. The content in "Get file content" is already base64.

Hi @v-mengmli-msft , I used that step. But after saving and closing the flow, it automatically appears that way with the conversion...

Hi @nailepmac ,

I recommend that you create a flow in classic designer. New designer is sometimes unstable.
