Hi, everyone.

I am looking to create a flow that will save email attachments to OneDrive folder based on their Content-Type. So the idea is that it saves only if email includes both of the attachments, .XML and .PDF. If it includes only one of them, then it should do nothing.

I got to build a flow, it is successful but the condition is always false. If I ask copilot it says it failed because the email did not include both of the attachments...

@jakob_1 You might find the tutorial below helpful. Although I cover how to "save" email attachments to SharePoint (not OneDrive) the same concepts can apply to your flow. You'll just need to use the appropriate OneDrive actions.

Save Email Attachments to SharePoint with Microsoft Power Automate

Power Automate doesn’t have a download attachment from outlook action. In this Power Automate Video tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the Get Attachment (V2) action in combination with the Create File action to get your email attachments onto SharePoint. The Create File action will overwrite any files that already exist with the same name. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can append a timestamp to the end of a file name to prevent your file from being overwritten.

I’ll also show you how to set up your flow so that you can trigger it manually while building it so you don’t need to wait for an email to arrive. At the end of the video I’ll show you how adding trigger conditions to your flow can prevent it from triggering if certain conditions aren’t met. Although the final flow uses the When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2) trigger, you can use any of the When a new email arrives triggers for your flow. Adjust this flow to suit your needs!
