hi all, I am new in this forum, but I wanted to share with you how I fixed it:

 

  1. base64() used to convert the output of the content body
  2. when appending it to variable converting the output of the compose action with base64ToBinary()

this has fixed my issue.

Hi, TommyTomek , can I check after you append to the variable, how did you attach the array variable to the send email action? believed you can't attach a variable as attachment in this action. 

 

I'm facing the same issue of wanting to send a pdf/excel file over but the file appears to be corrupted after sending. Hope you could help me with it thanks.
