Outlook Email Attachments - Renaming File and Saving to OneDrive or Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello Flow Builders ! 

I am totally new to Power Automate and the logic of the tool. I managed to create a workflow to save an attachment from SFDC that is sent through Outlook and place the file in Sharepoint/Onedrive.  That works great !  What I am lacking is i need the attached file to be saved to a standard filename in Sharepoint so I can use other automation tools from Smartsheet.  The SFDC file name increments on on the calendar date MMDDYY.  I'd like that filename to be a standard name when saved in Sharepoint. 

 

Here is a print of the workflow that was created:

Step 1: ID the Recipient of the file and Unique string in Subject:

Step 2: Filter passthru

Step 3 : Using 'From' email address to further filter message selection. 

Step 4:  Create File - Send to Site Address / Folder Path - Apply Filename. 

(( tried an expression below to force a rename but it didnt work, still got the original SFDC filename in Sharepoint)

I had also tried a generic 'testfile.xlsx' filename to replace the field below, still didnt work.

I believe perhaps another Condition needs to be added before or after the Create File condition. 

 

Would appreciate a clear explanation of what I need to do as I'm still just learning the logic, the options and sequence of this platform. 

 

Thank you!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Could you please share more details about your scenario? Could you explain more on the second step where initializing the variable with a false value then compare to true value within a Condition control? I see your note one the initialize variable, however, there is not a set variable control to update the variable. The flow will only run into the false parallel of the condition and save the file with its original name.

     

    Best regards,
