When a new email arrives to a group - Transfer copy of email to SharePoint Folder

I want to use the node 'When a new email arrives to a group', to transfer any email that arrives in specified Group email Inbox and transfer a copy of the email and any attachments to a SharePoint folder.

 

I have the attachment part working, but I just can't seem to get my head round how to do it for the actual email.  The elements within this flow are referring to conversations, threads and posts, which is a little confusing for me.  But aim is to transfer whole email (which may contain several replies back and forth etc.).

 

Ideally I want to transfer email in Outlook .msg format, but any readable format (.pdf etc.) would be acceptable.

 

I believe the 'Create file' is the correct action to be using, but like I say I struggle to get it to work (no errors, just blank attachments).

 

Below I show me experimenting with different combinations in an effort to get something to work (I have 3x Create file just to trial multiple ideas in one go).

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

    A bit too late, but here is an alternative:

    Thanks for reply @VictorIvanidze , part of me was expecting I would need to use an Office 365 Outlook trigger like you suggest, but I was hoping there was a way with the Office 365 Group Mail.  The more I learn about this group mail, I realise whilst it has an email address, it is not necessarily treated as an email as such I think hence where my confusion with the conversation, threads and posts comes in.

     

    I have access to another shared mailbox and tested with this, and it is incredibly simple, so I will definitely be pursuing this now to setup new shared mailbox for this particular project.

     

    Thanks again

    Can you add a shared mailbox to the group and use the trigger "When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2)"?

    Otherwise the only way I see is using GRAPH request(s).
