HELP, flow cant send attachment in email. Flow that sends attachment into an email when someone fills in microsoft form

Hai, so previously I had made a flow that allows me to send an email with attachments whenever someone fills in a microsoft form. These files are taken from my sharepoint. This flow has successfully run until now... but recently I want to a make another flow similar to this but for another microsoft form. When I tried to duplicate the flow, the attachment sent cannot be opened. I checked the flow side by side and I think the problem is that the dynamic content changed into function.. 

 

Here I attach the complete flow that has successfully worked previously

So basically I used the get file content and get file metadata.. and then I have set to attach those files into the email like this :

I realized when I tried to make a new flow with this template, the content bytes turned into functions..

It also says that there is no dynamic content available...

 

Does this problem occur because there has recently been a software update? Does anyone have the same problem? Or does anyone know another alternative to attach files into an automated email

 

The flow runs, but when I opened the attachment, there has been an error

    Any Progress? I thought it might be my flows, but my flows are outputting documents that are readable in PDF and .docx on my sharepoints drive. It is definitely the attachement to the Send an Email (V2) that is the issue. I have tried putting the documents on Sharepoints and OneDrive with no luck on attaching them to an email in the flow. They attach, but the output is either a blank PDF or word that says "File Format is Not Supported."

    I did not find a solution, but did discover the issue and a work around. In the New Designer, it is changing the attachments to a function, but the function is not right. If you change it back to the Old Designer and update the email with attachments, they stay as objects and the email attachment works:

    "Name": Name

    "ContentBytes": Content

    When you switch back to the new designer, it continues to work correctly. I would like to not have to do this, so any advice on how to attach documents to an email in the New Designer would be greatly appreciated.

    Haii, thankfully i found the answer! It was because I have been using the new designer instead of the old one.. once i switched it back everything went well 

    Thankyou!
