Beginner Questions Saving Excel attachments from New Emails in Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am a novice, this is a new expansion for work, and there's no one else to do it, so please keep in mind I either need a tutorial link for advanced automation or clear instructions.

 

I am using the Save New Email Attachments in SharePoint and Forward Email template. The only issue I have is that I do not know how exclude attachments that are not an Excel. I keep getting business logo images and imbedded material saved in my Sharepoint destination, that is causing the email forward to fail. 

 

How do I restrict the attachment types when saving files? I will need to set up approval flows after I complete this step.

I have the same question (0)

    @Anonymous 

    To restrict only to excel types please add a condition action inside your apply to each loop as below , The right hand side of the condition is

    application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

    So by adding this condition the files of type excel will only get added to sharepoint.
