Hi,

I have created a MS Flow which triggers as soon as an email with attachment comes into the inbox folder, now this part I am able to achieve it and also i am able to add action to get attachment successfully from the email.

What I want to achieve or know is?

Now I want to read the data inside the received attachment directly in the MS flow without storing it any location of any sort, reading the data inside the attachment directly from the email.

Is it possible or this is a wrong expectation and we have to store it in share point or one drive or any other location to read the data inside the excel attachment received in the email?

IF this is possible to read data inside attachment received along with email directly from MS flow, can you please let me know step by step how to do it as fairly new to the flow?

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Hi @chaitanyang ,

It is impossible to read data inside the excel attachment received in an email in Microsoft flow currenctly.
The function to read data inside the excel attachment received in an email is not supported in Microsoft flow currenctly, if you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:
