Save an email that's sent as part of the flow to a SharePoint list item

Hi,

 

I have researched but have not come up with a real answer as of yet to know if this is possible.

What I want to do is send an email within the flow, then save that email that is sent to a SharePoint list item as an attachment. I gather I can do this with a new trigger, but that seems a bit long winded.

 

Is there a way I can have one step that is Send Email then a step lower that will save the email that was sent?

Like so, but obviously I will need some steps in between, there is no 'Output' from the Send an email that I can use as the attachment content.

    Hi @Weggs 

     

    As per my understanding, if you are exporting an email as list attachment in SharePoint then after "Send an email" action, add "Get emails" action to retrieve the sent email. Set the folder as 'Sent item', top as 1, Subject Filter as mentioned in subject of send an email action. You could also apply filter by setting sender & recipient as shown below:

    Use "Export email" to export the email content and save as .msg file in the SharePoint. You could refer my previous reply for exporting email in SharePoint:
