How to work with Gmail attachments on Azure Logic App

I have created a Logic app where I get emails from a Gmail Account and I want to post the attachment of the email to my rest API. But I don't understand which type I get as the attachment. I have seen: if I use the Outlook.com trigger I get a base64String but from Gmail I get something else. Is there an example how to work with Gmail attachments.

Thanks for the input SahadevSinh. I have changed my workflow like this: enter image description here

And in my endpoint I do this:

 public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task<MissionOutputDto> CreateMissionFromMail(HttpRequestMessage req)
    {
        string body = await req.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        dynamic fileData = JObject.Parse(body);
        string email = fileData.email;
        JArray files = fileData.files;

        string fileString = null;
        string fileName = null;
        string mimeType = null;

        foreach (dynamic file in files)
        {
            fileString = file.ContentBytes;
            fileName = file.Name;
            mimeType = file.ContentType;
        }

i have to one example to show you how you can get gmail attachment

enter image description here

1) receive email trigger :

Step 1 details

2) get email details :

Step 2 details

3) pass attachment details in HTTP request Step 3 details

   [
  {
    "Name": "test (2).txt",
    "ContentBytes": "dGVzdA==",
    "ContentType": "text/plain; charset=\"US-ASCII\"; name=\"test (2).txt\"",
    "ContentId": "",
    "Size": 4
  },
  {
    "Name": "test (2) - Copy.txt",
    "ContentBytes": "dGVzdA==",
    "ContentType": "text/plain; charset=\"US-ASCII\"; name=\"test (2) - Copy.txt\"",
    "ContentId": "",
    "Size": 4
  }
]

"contentbyte" : is base64Strig

WebAPI changes :

you have create one more class to retrieve this attachment data

public class GmailAttechment
    {
        public string FileName { get; set; }
        public string ContentBytes { get; set; }
        public string ContentType { get; set; }

        public string ContentId { get; set; }

        public int Size { get; set; }

    }

this class use to retrieve attachment details from your request

  1. add above class into your webapi request parameter

    public class GetEmailDetails { public string file { get; set; }

        public string fileName { get; set; }

    public string from  { get; set; }

    public string mimeType { get; set; }
    **public List<GmailAttechment> GmailAttechmentList { get; set; }**
}
    1. example of action

    public void GetGmailDetails(GetEmailDetails gmailDetails) { foreach (var item in gmailDetails.GmailAttechmentList) { //here you can get all file content string base6String = item.ContentBytes; } }
