Get file content using path returns Unicode

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hey guys
I built a flow in my app canvas that gets the file content from a sharepoint file using the path. As described here. I implemented this and it works errorless. But the return value is not what I would like to see. I get one huge unicode string like so.
Body value from power automate:
{

"html": "PK\u0003\u0004\u0014\u0000\u0006\u0000\b\u0000\u0000"
}
What I see in Power apps:
PK\u0003\u0004\u0014\u0000\u0006\u0000\b\u0000\u0000

I tried to change the source file to excel, docs, html and plain txt. The output stays the same.
Do you guys have an idea whats going on here?
