Help with dynamic attachment names

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

 

I am brand new to using power automate or any kind of automations. 

 

I am trying to build a flow where it takes information from an email attachment and saves it into a secondary excel file (which will then be used for BI reporting) 

 

The issue is that the email attachment will come through several times a day and must have a unique name. To overcome this, I used UTC Now in the subject line of the automation but the rest of the name is static. 

 

How can I get power automate to recognize the attachment if it has a dynamic name?

    @Anonymous you can loop through attachments using Apply to each action and add condition action in it to check the attachment name contains that specific keyword
