Hello,
I am currently trying to build a flow that automatically creates a work item in azure devops when an email arrives. This basically works, but there are regularly problems with the attachments from the email. I followed every step from this video: Power Automate - Create Azure DevOps WorkItem and Attachments
I get the following error message:
 
Error
Action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_Azure_DevOps' failed
Unable to parse Base64 encoded bytes.
clientRequestId: 90d33b43-717d-4deb-9b55-34268a60f6d2

    Hi
     
    So most of us (its a guess) are not fans of "I followed this", because nearly every time, they didn't and so we have to go back and forth to get to the reality.
     
    So please share your flow, share the inputs and outputs etc, and the error directly there, so we can see what you did exactly to create the encoded data etc etc.
