Email subject as a column in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a flow creating an item in a SharePoint folder everytime an email is received with an attachment. It pulls the name of the attachment with the attachment itself. I am looking for a way to also populate the subject of the email into its own column. It seems like it should be simple but I have not found the best way to do this yet. Any suggestions?

    Can you please post a screenshot of your Flow steps so I can try to replicate on my end?

    Hi agarchar,

     

    Please take the following flow configuration for a reference.


    1) Start the flow from the template “Save my email attachments to a SharePoint document library”.

    2) In SharePoint library, you should have already added a column for the Subject. In my case, I named the column as "Subject". Then after the action “Create file”, add the action “Update file properties”, select the dynamic content “Subject” for the Subject field.

    Please have a try with it. If you need more help, please feel free post back.

     

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao
