Get To and From info from .msg or .eml file already in SharePoint

Posted on by drmrbrewer

I can create a workflow to process a new email and copy it into SharePoint as follows:

When a new email arrives (V3)
Export email (V2)
Create file (with custom file name and .eml extension)

Then I can update the file properties of the resulting SharePoint .eml file to populate my custom To and From (string) columns. And also perform some other property updates conditional on the From or To email address (e.g. update some property if from a certain sender).

But crucially, this information is coming from the Outlook part of the workflow (the "When a new email arrives" step).

We also have many many Outlook .msg files already in SharePoint. Can I use a Power Automate workflow to process those in a similar way, to update properties that is based on Outlook-specific info like To and From? I mean, these are both MS products so I would hope it's possible...
