Downloading Attachments - Only Some Extensions (With Variables)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sroberts1 3

Good afternoon all,

 

I would like to 

 

- Rename attachment to include the received time, while also removing 'illegal' characters

- Only download attachments with specified file extensions to the file system, then run a desktop flow

 

I've tried adding conditional logic to only download attachments with the csv file extension, but this results in only downloading the jpg image from the signature. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

    Hi @sroberts1 ,

     

    This is due to the value of the file name variable has never changed when you create files in drive.

    It has always been the name of the last file.

    Demo:
