Outlook shared mailbox to SharePoint list with attachments - if no doc attachments skips inline attachments

Posted on by florianct

I am taking all messages sent to a shared mailbox and saving it to a SharePoint list with all attachments.

Using the 'Has Attachments' Outlook property, if there are both doc attachments and inline attachments (images in the message) they all get saved to the list item's attachments. YEAH!

But if there are only inline attachments, 'Has Attachments' returns False.

You could consider using the following conditions to exclude images:

Nope. I want the inline images. the problem is that Flow's "has attachment" parameter only sees the inline attachments if there is a document attachment as well.
This is the first step in an automated email processing and storage system.

Then you don't set the Has attachment field, don't do any settings to it, this will not affect the execution of Flow, and you can also get the image in the email body normally.

GOT IT!
Don't use the "Has Attachments" condition! Just do a for-each attachments and let it run...
If there are no attachments: the for-each is zero. If there are attachments it runs!
Thanks!
