Overwrite a SharePoint xlsx file with Outlook Attachment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to create a flow that will take an xlsx attachment from Outlook (The trigger is the subject as the xlsx filename can change) and save it to a SharePoint folder overwriting an xlsx file that is already stored there.

This file is used in a Power BI dataset.

I have my flow to refresh the dataset when the xlsx is updated okay.

 

I seem to be struggling with the outlook part, following some advice I seem to have the attachment save to the folder (Does not overwrite the xlsx there just saves the attachment as a new file) but if there is an image in the email signature that saves as well to the SharePoint folder.

 

What would be the best steps to help achive a working flow?

 

Any help you can offer is appreciated, thank you.

    You might try using a SharePoint delete file action before creating the new file.

    Also, before creating a file, use a condition and check the file extension.  If the file has an image type of extension (.png, etc.) don't create the file.
