Saving PDF attachment to sharepoint from emails - without attachments overriding each other

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
We get an email from noreply@transnet.net with PDF attachment. all emails have the same pdf attachment called Cargo Dues Order Confirmation, however the content of the attachment is different.
I want to use power Automate to create a flow. The flow must be triggered when the email is being received, Then should automatically save the attachment to a folder in sharepoint.
the attachment should not override each other because of the same file name, it should allow the duplicate file name by adding 1 in the file name. for example Cargo Dues Order Confirmation(1), Cargo Dues Order Confirmation(2), Cargo Dues Order Confirmation(3) ect.
I do not have AI Builder

Can you give me step by step instructions how to create the flow

    Hi there!
     
    The good news is you do not need AI Builder for this flow.  Essentially, one of many ways to do this, is to simply append the file name with the date/time, that's going to prevent duplicate file name issues.
