Automatically saving an email from outlook to the sharepoint - body is empty?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello,

 

I am trying to create the following flow:

When a new email enters a specific Inbox, the email should be saved to our sharepoint as an .eml-file. The Filename should be the emails subject + date and it should contain the body of the email.

 

Here is what I got so far:

this actually works to the point where the file is created with the correct Filename, meaning it should be able to get the data from the email. But when I open the .eml on the sharpoint, the body is empty:

Can someone help me with this? I am very new to PowerAutomate. Thank you in advance!

    Hi @MarkusReiter 

     

    Before create file action, add "Export email" action & pass the message Id from the dynamic content as shown below:

    Next, in create file action pass the body of export email action as shown below:

    Rest all is fine.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
