"This workbook couldn't be opened because the file format may not be matching with the file extension" - Resolved.

Hello All, 

 

Could you do me a favor?

I created this workflow to upload the file from the email, but there is an error message, 

"This workbook couldn't be opened because the file format may not be matching with the file extension"

 

But when I upload the same file directly to Sharepoint not using Power Automate, I can open the file. 

 I don't konw why.

    In the action "When a new email arrives (V3)", check the option "Include Attachments" highlighted in red in the shared screenshot. Ensure this option is set to Yes, Missing this setting could result in the mentioned error.
