Add attachment - Content Bytes not present

[kcg633755]

I am having an issue with the 'Add Attachment' element I am using in my flow. 

The file is created however it seems to be corrupted as it fails to open in the sharepoint list and also when I download it.

Here is the start of the flow...

I believe I should see the "ContentBytes" field in the 'Add attachment' field but this is what I see...

Any idea what I might be missing?

Hi @kcg633755 

When you are adding attachments, you would be doing so in a for loop for attachments 

The attachments Name and attachments Content property would hold the values you need

Check flow template - Save my email attachments to a SharePoint document library 

this template will show you exactly how to add the attachment to a library

Hi @kcg633755,

Before you add attachments, you need to get the attachment content by using Get attachment action. Then append the body('Get_attachment').$content into the File Content blank.

Please have a try, I hope it can help you.

Thanks, I tried this but still finding the same result - the file saves as attachment in the Sharepoint list but it fails to open.

Hi @kcg633755 as has previously been posted you need to include a Get Attachment action. When you use this to create the file, you need to ensure you use the whole body of the output, not just the content, as you need the implied Content Type as well.
