Email to Dropbox Update File

Posted on 30 Jul 2019 12:25:22 by 54

Below if my flow, which partially works.  It will update files from email, but it puts the content of the attachment from one file in all three documents.  I receive three emails with .csv attachments that I want it to move/update in Dropbox separately.  I've tried some other copy file overwrite flows, but can't get them to work either.

 

On New Email - processes the new email appropriately from Outlook.

Condition - Apply To Each

      Drop Box - Update File 1

            File - /filename1.csv

            File Content - Attachements Content

      Drop Box - Update File 2

            File - /filename2.csv

            File Content - Attachements Content

      Drop Box - Update File 3

            File - /filename3.csv

            File Content - Attachements Content

    Can you still help, or someone else?  The flow says it works successfully, but it doesn't do anything. No attachments are moved to Dropbox.

    Re: Email to Dropbox Update File

    Okay, sorry for all the posts...so I created it all from scratch again, instead of from a template.  I have the three Unread emails in my Inbox. I test the flow from Office 365 Outlook, and it says successful on all steps.  However, my files in Dropbox have not updated or changed.  They are the same that I saved their manually this morning.

    Okay, after just trying a dozen options, I get what you have.  However, I get an error when replicating your flow.

    "The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Get_attachment' at line '1 and column '1781' is invalid. Action 'Apply_to_each_2' must be a parent 'foreach' scope of action 'Get_attachment' to be referenced by 'repeatItems' or 'items' functions.'."

    Re: Email to Dropbox Update File

    If I try to add the Condition like you mention, I still don't get the same options.  The missing link here in the 'Dropbox' and 'Body' in Apply to each 2. It's simply not an option anywhere - what am I not putting in above to get that as an option?

    I'm sorry to be stupid, but I simply don't understand.  When I try to do what you show, I don't get the same options or layout that you show.

    Hi @Bwalters613 ,

     

    Please check the detailed screenshot of the flow:

    1.PNG

     

    After the action list files in folder, add a Condition and set it to:

    Attachment is equal to DisplayName

    At here, an Apply to each2 will be added automatically.

     

    Then under the If yes branch, add action Update file to update corresponding file with the attachment content.

    Note: dynamic content Body from action Get attachment.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    This is what I have, and it doesn't have same options as yours unless something in here is wrong or needs changed.

    Re: Email to Dropbox Update File

    Sorry, I keep trying, but the option you list in your screenshot don't appear for me. When you list a step for Dropbox with Body, I don't have that option.  In my Apply To Each, Outlook Get Attachment wants Message ID and Attachment ID items entered - yours doesn't show that.

    Re: Email to Dropbox Update File

    Yes, I want each email attachment (file) to update its corresponding file in Dropbox automatically.  I will try what you have here, but am not sure I understand it perfectly. Not sure how to post my screenshot as it wants me to put in a link - I can't just paste the screenshot.
