Hello everyone- I need to get the attachment content into the start and wait for approval mail- I have created a Get attachment action, then apply to each for Get attachment content, but when trying to add the content of Get attachment content in the attachment of the Start and wait for approval mail, I cannot find it..maybe there is an extra step I should take
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,

Hi,
It seems I cannot attach images, but I will describe as best as I can:
When an item is created or modified in a SharePoint list
Initialize variable
Condition
If the result of the condition is no
Get attachment
Apply to each - get attachment content- append to array variable :
{
"Name":@{items('Apply_to_each_5')?['DisplayName']},
"ContentBytes":@{body('Get_attachment_content').$content}
}
Then start and wait for an approval - the resul of the apply to each is not visibile in the add attachment of the start and wait for an approval
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please share the screenshot so we could better understand.
And Please make sure to create the flow same as mine, I'm afraid that you don't create the correct flow...just forgot your flow and copy mine, check the difference between your flow and my screenshot.
Make sure the Start and wait for an approval action in outside the Apply to each.

Hi Alice,
The result is visible now, but when running I get the following error ( I cannot insert images into the conversation unfortunately)
"The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidRequestContent'. Error Message: 'The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'Microsoft.Azure.ProcessSimple.Data.Entities.ApprovalsConnectorAttachment' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.
Path 'attachments[0]', line 1, position 847.'.'."
The result of the Append to array is, is this correct?:

Hello! Thank you for this and it worked for me. However, the file became corrupted upon opening it on the email sent by the flow. Also, if the attachment is an excel file, I can open it but it will display random letters on a single cell. What seems to be the problem? here's my flow btw:
Hello,
I'm creating a flow that the only difference is that at the end of the process it sends an e-mail with all attachments.
It is already sending the e-mail however, the file is always corrupted.
Do you know how to fix it?
I'm developing a
Hi mate
i used the attachment content
Hi Alice
The instruction
body('Get_attachment_content')?['$content']
it's not correct, because sometimes the attached file can be a plain text file.
On this cases,, $content doesn't exists.
Property body becomes a string variable with the content of the file
(on this example, your variable 'Get_attachment_content' it's named 'Continguts' on mine example)
It's mandatory to put a IF instruction to review if body property it's a string
or a array
