Office documents in email attachments are all corrupted

[mwitcomb]

I've looked into so many threads and tried almost everything but all my attachments that I send via Outlook are corrupted when I try to open.

These files sit (added via Planner Tasks) under the Shared Documents folder on my Sharepoint site

When a user completes a task they add an attachment.

When the Complete status is chosen it triggers the Flow.

Here is my complete flow

I start by getting the Task ID that has been triggered

Initialise a variable to add the various attachments too (there will be more then 1)

Using the references object from the previous task I go and start finding the file(s) in question

First by using Get_file_content_using_path then using Get_file_metadata_using_path

Whack those into the variable

Then add the variable to the Attachments field in outlook v2

The flow completes and email is sent no problems.

When I open the attachments from the email they are all corrupt.   Why???

I've checked the outputs from the completed flow and the content & contentBytes matches up

I have also tried to base64 code the contentBytes in the array (not shown) but this just shows a different contentBytes and also corrupts the file

Any idea what I'm doing wrong??

I figured it out - missing content-type
