Email attachment in Sharepoint List does not show text

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Dan28 2

Hi All, 

I'm very new to Power Automate but am trying to build a ticketing system by creating an item in Sharepoint when an email is received into a Shared Mailbox. Attachments from emails are saved and working correctly however when I try to include the email as an attachment (file name -> email.eml) and open the email file, it does not show the text and opens showing code. 

The flow is following the creation of a Sharepoint Item.

Can anyone help explain what I am doing wrong?

    Hi @Dan28,

    You should set file content in add attachment as body of 'Export Email'.

    The following link may help you a lot.

    Solved: Flow send a mail and save it as EML in sharepoint - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     

    Best Regards,

    Kyrie
