Saving .eml attachments to Sharepoint

Posted on by SS-20081429-0

Hi,

I have a flow working that grabs the attachments from an incoming email and saves them to sharepoint.

I would like to be able to also save any outlook items that are also attached to the email.

I've read various posts and one from 2018 - Save attachments of type "outlook item" to OneDriv... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) - states "Currently, Flow does not support obtaining the "Outlook item" contained in the email. Only Attached Files included in the email can be obtained."

Has this functionality been added yet?

If not is there any way at all to grab the .eml attachment and save it to sharepoint/onedrive/teams.

Many thanks

If the .eml has been added as a file attachment then it would be retrieved directly by power automate triggers. In power automate the attachments are categorized into two types file and item attachments all the file attachments (ex: .txt,.zip,.png,.pdf etc) would be retrieved by the power automate trigger but the item attachments cannot be retrieved by the trigger and this is a known limitation.

To over come this scenario please follow the steps shared below.

Use Invoke an HTTP request action under the HTTP with Azure AD connector.

When creating a connection for the HTTP with Azure AD connector, input text https://graph.microsoft.com/ for both Azure AD Resource URI and Base Resource URL connection parameters. Warning: Please do NOT use the public endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com) for national clouds. Please refer to the official documentation.

Once created, use that action with this Get attachments endpoint.

Hello,
the workaround I found:
Use the export email action
Save it as an EML file on OneDrive using the Create file action
Use PAD/VBA to open the EML file and save its attachment(Outlook item) as a file
