Hello - I am wondering if it is possible to set a Power Automate flow that can locate a link within an Outlook message and save the linked document to another network folder.

The links within the email will not be consistently named, nor will the senders.

I'm new to Power Automate so hope that makes sense!
Thank you!

Re: Ability to download link to document via Power Automate

Hi @becksHR ,

The flow should trigger if only the email is from particular email address (that you must set in Trigger Conditions of the flow). Else even if there are any suspicious links the flow will start downloading it.

1. Set trigger condition for the email from particular email address

2. Parse the email body for the link

3. create error handling also

4. make the HTTP request by passing the link to download the document.

5. Use create file in SHarePoint document library

6. write the file.
