Help needed - Flow that saves an entire email as an attachment to SharePoint Online list item

Posted on by FlemmingPent 23

Hi

 

I would like to build a flow that saves an entire incoming email as an attachment to SharePoint Online list item.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks!

    @FlemmingPent, 

     

    Currently Flow does not support attaching documents to list items. However, you could create a document library, add the email to the doc library, then add the document url to a SharePoint list item.

     

    To do this you will need to save the email as a file using the outlook connector. Check out the blog below on how to do this:

    If this helped please give kudos and mark as the solution!

    Thanks,

     

    Dan

    Hi @FlemmingPent ,

     

    You could use Export email action to export incoming email and then save the exported file to list item.

    Consider using Subject as the file name and saving it in .eml format.

    Please configure Id according to the actual situation. I am directly inputting the ID of an item existing in the list.

    Please refer to the screenshot below to configure Flow:

    Please take a try.
