I have a flow that triggers when a record is added to a custom table of mine.
When that record is created, the flow needs to create a new record in the sys_data_sources table, and once that new record exists, i need to copy an attachment from the trigger record and add it to the new record on the data sources table.
I continue to get the following error:
Here is what the flow design looks like currently:
Once i'm able to get this attachment added, then i'll be creating a custom action to effectively kick off this data being loaded as an import set and the loaded/transformed.
This is my first go with Flow Designer, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like Flow operators have changed since this was posted--I can't replicate the solution shown. I'm trying to copy attachments from an Email trigger to a Request Item and nothing I've tried has worked...

Similar boat for Copy and Lookup Attachment when using the test flow action. However I found they worked once I activated the flow. odd.

Thank you, Eric, for your post! It helped me solve the issue with using the Copy Attachment action. It's not as simple as the documentation describes. I ended up executing a Look up Attachment and a Look up Record passing the attachment sys_id before I can use the Copy Attachment.
