Automatically take email attachments and create sharepoint file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by adrian-m 133

Hello,

I am trying to build a flow that is triggered when an email comes in, it takes the attachment and saves it to a sharepoint library.

 

I have a flow that almost works, the only problem is that its not automatic. You have to click on the attachment in the email to make it save.

How do I change it so that the documents are saved without any human intervention? 

Thanks,

    hi @adrian-m  that should be automatic. Please double check the folder in where you are creating the file becuase far as I see the file are being created well

    Hello,

    I have run many tests - every time nothing happens when the email comes in. If I open the attachment in the email, it is then saved to the Sharepoint location

    hi @adrian-m  sounds like a bug, the only way could be opening a MS support case.

    hi @adrian-m  It's not required, if you are admin you could use some tickets.
