Search emails in a folder from specific sender, and save their attachment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TEG 2

Hello everyone, would highly appreciate if you could help...

I would like to create a flow that searches emails from a specified sender in my inbox, save their attachments in a specific folder, and then mark the email as read and move it to a folder. 

The AI generation feature seems to create a flow that is triggered by new emails. How can I create the flow I want?

    Follow the below steps:

    1) Create a scheduled flow to run every 1 hour

    2) Add Action "Get emails (V3)" specify your conditions

    3) Add OneDrive action to save attachments

    4) Add Action "Mark as read or unread (V3)" to mark the eMail as read

    5) Add Action "Move email (V2)" to move email to specific folder

    Thanks for your reply! Something doesn't work for me. I get a message:
    Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'body' validation failed in workflow operation 'Create_file': The parameter with value '"@items('For_each')?['hasAttachments']"' in path 'body' with type/format 'Boolean' is not convertible to type/format 'String/binary'.'.

    Any idea how to solve this?
