We have created Sharepoint online connection with the necessary permissions.

Quering a list etc. works fine but when I try to use the get a file action. I encounter the following error.

Received an error response from the connector: {"message":"[SP.ATH.Forbidden] Error Downloading file contents for filename 'blanko.xlsx' for the site 'redacted'. Check your connection credentials has the necessary permissions for the site in SharePoint. Details: 403 Forbidden, Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.","correlationId":"0351c111-13c7-47b8-9272-0e264ba9f7d2","code":null}

Hi @awillemsen,

Welcome to the community.

I could be wrong but are you using the Get a File action to download an attachment from an item?
This action is only for Document libraries.
If so, You will need to use the Get attachment names action instead.

Thanks for your suggestion @SimonMuntz.

But it is setup as document library and the Get attachment by name action doesn’t even give me this list as an option.

Hi @awillemsen,

Thank you for your clarification.
Not sure if this will make a difference but does the library have versioning turned on?

If so, you may need to check the file out before downloading it.

Hi @awillemsen 
Have you resolved your issue? 

Hi @MillaZ,

yes and no. I didn’t get it to work for the specific Website.

It was probably some kind permission issue on our side.

After creating a fresh SharePoint Online Site and List it just worked.

Thank you @awillemsen
