Hi there,

I have got a very wired problem.

I builded a flow where an pdf file is saved to one drive and I want to send the file as a attachment via email.

The file on one drive is totally fine. It has all the content it should have.

But the file attached to the Email isempty, although I used the same file content. When I open the file it says that: "This file was damaged and has been repaired".

I use the one drive action get file content and use the file id of the "create file action" (PDF file was created in the previous step).

After that I use the outlook action "send an email V2" and use the "name" of one drive action "create file" and the "file content" of the previous "get file content"-action.

When I check the PDF file which was sent by email, it is empty.

Hi @Andre81 ,

This should be a problem for new designer.

Please create a new flow, at the beginning of building the flow, switch to the classic designer.

Thank you, that helped. But I have generated a huge flow. Do I have to rebuild no everything or is there a chance to convert the flow into classic design?

Is it better to always work with the classic design?

Hi @Andre81 ，

Unfortunately this problem can only be solved by re-creating the flow and going to the classic designer at the beginning of the flow creation.

I have encountered this situation many times, so I recommend that you create the flow in the classic designer in the future.

Best Regards,

Sunshine Gu
