Replicating folder structure in Outlook to Once drive

Hi All,

 

I am a newbie to power automate and need your help.

 

I am trying to build a flow or flows to do the following tasks:

 

1) replicate the folder structure I have or create under Inbox in Outlook to a specified folder in Onedrive

2) every time I move an email to one of these folders (not triggered when I receive an email in my inbox) , download the attachment from the email to the corresponding folder within One drive, but in a nested folder named as the email address.

 

I know what I wrote above is quite confusing so I will try to give an example below.

 

Let's say I have a folder in one drive called "ATTACHMENTS" and I create a folder in Outlook by the name "PROJECT 1".  The flow should create a folder called "PROJECT 1" in the ATTACHMENTS folder.

 

Now I move an email from Vendor1@gmail.com with an attachment called submission.xls to the folder "PROJECT 1".  I need the flow to create a folder called "Vendor1@gmail.com" within "PROJECT 1" on One drive and save submission.xls into it.

 

So ultimately the path on one drive to submission.xls should look something like below:

 

ATTACHMENTS>PROJECT 1>Vendor1@gmail.com>Submission.xls

 

Any help in this regard would be really appreciated.
