The O365 upload file action works but in the content if we use workflow variables.it neglects the content and throws the exception " This file is empty and needs content to be uploaded. "

 

Has anyone found a workarounf for that

Hi,

I tested this functionality with a simple text document and it functioned as expected.
Please provide a screen shot of the action configuration and the set variable action.

I think i found the actual issue. Normal text anbd variables are working but if i use html in the content along with variables it fails.

It fails with error "This file is empty and needs content to be uploaded." But if i build a string of html and use that it goes through. So i guess putting html content directly into the file content fails.

strange... possible that one of thevariables going empty might have caused that issue...After making some changes it works...will continue checking and update soon.
