As you are dealing with a single file triggering the flow, see if the following flow with three steps will be suited to your needs:

Can you share screenshots of the flow so I can understand the context and any error messages.
As far as I understand:
the trigger is when a file is created in a document library,
then based on some condition you are getting a number of documents files (Get Files) from another document Library?
these documents are sent as an email attachment
the attachments are received but they have no content - i.e. they are empty.

Thanks for the images from the flow. That was really helpful

(1) I am trying to understand what needs to be done in the flow:
Trigger: When a file is created in a document library
If the filename from the trigger action starts with 'INFORM.' then email the file as an attachment
(2) Is this understanding correct? If so, the flow can be created as mentioned before (see below). Note the flow is only triggered for each new file that is added to the document library - so the email will only contain ONE attachment file:
We can later add a condition later to check if the filename starts with 'INFORM.' This can either be a trigger condition or a condition action. Will the above type of flow suit your need? Are you able to create a simplified flow like above and re-test

(3) Can you also send screenshots of the runtime. For example:

Thanks for the screen shots.
I noticed that then I ran my test flow, the Get file content action has the spaces and slashes in the url are encoded. In your action they are not encoded:
Both actions should work. However, in your flow can you replace the Get file content action with Get file content using path as below and re-test:
Remember to update the email attachment details:
