Outlook Group Email to Sharepoint Site (of the same group email)

Posted on by BG-11031913-0

I am trying to create a flow to take attachments (vendor quotations) from a group email, and put them into the sharepoint site of that group email.

I have it sort of working? But not really.

I run a test and it pulls a random email that isnt even in the group, it pulls a email from my personal email?

It does pull the attachment correctly (along with 20 embedded jpegs from signatures)

So 2 part question here. Why is it not pulling the NEW emails that are going to this group email? It pulls this same random email EVERY TIME, not the new email.

How do I limit the attachment types to .docx , .pdf and .xlsx so it doesnt pull these embedded jpegs?

Trigger is routed to correct group ID.

Hi @BG-11031913-0,

You can use a Filter Array to filter the attachments array.

Below is an example, if that helps?

1. Use the Attachments array in the From.

2. Edit the filter in advanced mode and add the below

@or(or(endswith(item()['name'], '.docx'), endswith(item()['name'], '.pdf')), endswith(item()['name'], '.xlsx'))
3. After that you can loop through the filtered items by using the Body field of the Filter Array action.

4a. In the File Name of the Create file action use
item()['name']

4b. In the File Content of the Create file action use

item()['contentBytes']

Happy to help out 😁

That should help the part with the filtering the unwanted files.

Any idea why it isnt pulling the new emails in correctly?

When I do a manual trigger by sending an email to the group, it pulls a random email from my personal email, rather than the group email.

Why would it be doing this?
