I need some guidance on creating a workflow to convert the XLS attachment of an email to XLSX and save it on SharePoint.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hi @Vahid_Golkarfard,

You can find a flow example in the article. Adjust it according to your needs but basically the logic is the same.

You can replace Get SharePoint Files action to Get attachments

Hello @Vahid_Golkarfard,

The error message reports that the file type is incorrect. Most likely, the input is not an xls file.

Please make sure that the input (attachments) of the Convert actions are all xls files. You can also try to save the attachments as xls files, to check them.
