Send an email with attachment - attachment is blank

Hi,

I have an approval flow triggered by a new Leave Request Form response with an optional attachment for when staff have medical certificates to upload.

The flow works great - I have variables for date formats, arrays for whether there's an attachment or not, and content for approval and contentbytes for email - it flows smoothly.

However, the attachments to the emails come out blank and I don't know why.

The attachment comes through in the correct format, but the sheet(s) have nothing on them.

Hi @KatLane

I did test on my side and it can work fine.

My section in "Apply to each" is different from yours, you can refer to the screenshot below.

Hope the content above may help you.

Best Regards

Thank you @v-LilyW-msft, I also logged this with Power Automate Support and they said the same thing - remove the " " around my content and contentbytes schema and no more issues. Such a simple fix, but I've been battling with it for days!

Thanks @v-LilyW-msft & @KatLane ! Actually removing the "" around the File Content solved my issue. I have been trying many workarounds for hours now , once the flow fails, and once it works with the attachment corrupted and once it works with the attachment opens but empty !
Finally I removed the "" and now I received an email with the attachment opening with the file content correctly !
