Issue with file type when uploading to sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I'm attempting to automate the process of saving all received emails to Sharepoint.

 

My flow looks like this:

Trigger: Outlook, when a new email arrives

Action: Outlook, export email

Action: Sharepoint, Create file

 

In the Sharepoint Action I've selected the file content to be the body of the email exported from Action 1. However, when I open my sharepoint file location, all of the saved files are in the .file format. I need them to be saved in the .eml or .msg format.

 

Any advice?

    Hi

     

    What are you typing for the File Name? I see the content is being set, but can you share what you are assigning for the name please? Are you saying that you specific name XBX.msg but it calls it XBX.file anyway?
    Cheers

    I'm using the field for the message's subject from the previous action. So I'm not specifying a file type in the naming convention... I didn't know that was possible. Should I be doing that?
