Saving attachment of gmail to the file system

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hy, I am trying to create a flow that will save the gmail attachment to my file system i.e. my computer drive.

I went through documentation and tried getting valid connection gateway.

To make sure everything was correct I used cmd prompt to see all the details for (DOMAIN\Username) too . Everything is fine.

 

But whenever i get email with the attachment nothing is saved in the designated folder i gave in the path. I keep receiving this error below.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Please try to create a new file system connection and configure Create file action again.

    Besides, please try to set Include Attachments to Yes and it is not recommended that add two triggers in a flow.

     

    Best Regards,
