Hello everyone!

 

Im using a flow with Power Automate to automate the export of a PDF file from the Power BI service and send it via email, and I have a problem: the attached file arrives blank (empty). What could be happening?

 

The flow is working but the attachment is empty.

 

Thanks for you help!

    Hi @Florcita ,

    This is a problem for new designers.

    I suggest that you build your future flows in the classic designer.

    Please create a new flow and then build the flow in classic designer.

    Hello @v-yetonggu-msft, thanks for you reply!

     

    Ive tried what you said but unfortunately it didnt work. Here are the print screens, maybe you can see some kind of error.

     

    I think the problem might be with the PDF's content as its shown with characters (as the information were encrypted).

     

    I will keep trying to solve this problem!
