Outlook Converts PDF to Text File for Salesboard Attachments

I use salesboard and receive the data from it.

One part is a PDF that i want to sent.

This is Document Attachments file, binary data for lazy loading.

When I send it using the 'Send Email in GMAIL’ adapter it works fine

I place it in the Attachments.

The same using the ‘Send Email in Microsoft Outlook’ results in .txt file with a link to the file, not a PDF.

Is this as designed or can I chnage some settings?

@Jeroen Everhard

Can you show screenshots in the DATA OUT form Step 1 related to the attachments?

This is what I receive:

I've tried adding the mimeType and fileName together with the Binary Data.

But that just gives me the same .txt file with the three fieldnames .

I don't know if I should use a symbol (semicolon, colon etc.) to separate

I also had contact with Zapier support about this.

It turned out I had a trailing space after the field with binary data. After removing it worked as wanted.
