Hi,

I have a SharePoint document library which can contains different type of files. I need to have a flow when a .msg (email) is uploaded the flow reads the Email content, gets Sender (From), Receiver(To), Date and Time and then updates metadata accordingly. This flow should be triggered in SharePoint and not outlook.

I setup the flow to be triggered when an email is uploaded and here are the steps to get the content:

the result of Set Variable is something like this:

How can I convert this result to an understandable string that can be parsed?

Thanks

getfilecontent returns binary information of the file.

There is no direct way to parse a .msg file in Power Automate.

Thanks sir.

What would you recommend in this case? Do you think if it's converted to PDF then it can be parsed?
