Saving an Attachment from Outlook that comes in the form of a Link

ReportReport
Posted on by JustLetitFlow 18

Hello, I am at the very last item on my list to automate that will make my EOM report system 100 % automated but I can't figure it out. I have one report that comes on the 1st of the month and it has no attachment but rather a link to download the .CSV file from.  How do I go about automating this I need to download and send to OneDrive to its specified folder. HELP!

    Hi @JustLetitFlow ,

     

    I found a similar thread for your reference:

    Solved: Automatically download a file that is in an url li... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     

    To be brief, key point is to get the link. After that we only need to send a request to the uri to download the file.

    Feel free to share an email template for further test if you still need my help.

    Hello! Thank you for your speedy response. I have attached a copy of the email I receive as a PDF. Do I need just the url (highlighted in yellow) or would I need to input the long link that lives in the Download button? Also would that be one of the premium options? Thank you so much for your kindness and help.

    Hi @JustLetitFlow ,

     

    I think it should be the url.

    But I cannot reproduce your email with such template, would you please copy the outputs of email body to me for further test?

    I copied to my clipboard this:

    I am sorry, I am not very good with the coding part of Power Automate, yet. 
    Also it keeps wrapping "Compose" in to "Apply to Each", which is not what your screenshot shows so I am wondering if I am providing the correct information to you.

    I appreciate all your help with this 🙂

    Hi @JustLetitFlow ,

     

    Thanks for your information! But I'm afraid you pick the wrong one.

    Please notice the highlighted subtitle of "Body". It should be like this:

    HI I took a very quick video of what I am doing because I thought I was following your steps. Here is a link to my video, it was too big to attach with the comment Power Automate: Vid for Question in Community  
    If you prefer I share a different, feel free to let me know. I am curious to know it I am selecting "Body" correctly because it keeps wrapping the step in to "Apply Each""

    Hi @JustLetitFlow ,

     

    Thanks for your effort. Turn this setting on and try to insert "Body" again:

    If it works as my demo, run it and copy its outputs. Thank you~

    Hello, @v-wenjuan-msft  , I apologize I didn't understand what you  needed at first but now I understand and I have run it and have the out outputs. I am not sure which one you need exactly so I am going to give you all  Outputs for "Compose"
