    Hello @ChandeepChhabra 

     

    Here I found a post that contains some formulas that can help you get the extensions from the attachments: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Get-file-extension-name-of-outlook-email-attachment/td-p/87535

     

    Once you have the extension, then you can play around with a condition to do whatever action that you want to do:

    Hope this information can be helpful for you.

    Thanks.
