create file ...bad request

We are using the corporate edition of office 365.

 

I want to save an attachment from an email to a SharePoint folder subfolder of group  documents/subfoldername

There are a lot of examples available and I copied them.

 

However when the file should be saved I get an error "Action 'create_file' failed"

The file does not exists in that folder, and I think because I created the folder myself I have all the necessary rights.

As site address I use https://ourname.sharepoint.com/sites/group-grooupname

folder path = /documents/subfoldername

 

When I look at the details of the create file-part I don't see anything strange, only file content has a lot of tekst.

What can be wrong ?

I appreceate your help

    Hi @nfyi 

     

    Make sure that the include attachments option is set to yes in the outlook email step. If that is already set could you please post your flow screenshot.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @nfyi,

     

    Could you please share the screenshots for the configuration of Flow and error information?

    Its folder path is no problem, it may be caused by the file name or file content.

    Hi,

     

    I'm having a very similar problem see screenshot below.

    Strangely, it only fails sometimes... I tried looking for something which might cause it to fail but was unsuccessful.

     

    @v-litu-msft any help would be appreciated!

     

    Thank You!

    I am also having the same problem that seems to only fail on some flows. I cannot work out what is causing it or how to correct it. But I tried turning 'chunking' off and it seems to have corrected the issue for the flows that were failing with almost no details as to why.2022-03-10 10_06_53-Edit your flow _ Power Automate and 8 more pages - Work - Microsoft​ Edge.png
