SharePoint File sent as Email Attachment from Flow Not Opening

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I have - what I originally thought was simple- a simple automation that is ALMOST working. I want to send an email once a month, with a report template attached to it. The templates live on a sharepoint.

 

I have the following flow (I need to update the trigger, I am still testing it out), but it is essentially 
Date -> Get File Content (from sharepoint) -> send an email V2, with added attachment from file content.

The email sends, but the problem is that the attachment is not an excel; in fact, the attachment is just a "file", but canot be opened by any app.

What do I need to do to fix this?
