Creating a flow that forwards only attachment to another email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I am trying to set up a flow on behalf of a recruitment company who utilises a resume parser from a ATS/CRM company with its own parser email address. The resume parser does not accept emails with anything in the body and they are receiving automated job applications from a job posting board that currently are getting automatically forwarded to the parsing email address using a standard Office365 forwarding rule. These automated emails received from the job board contain the candidate's resume/CV but have a highly formatted body which the parser is attempting to parse.

 

What we need to achieve is for any emails received by the client's email address to go through a flow which retains the original subject line but strips out the body and leaves only the attachment and then sends this blank email + attachment to the parsing email address. If we can add an additonal rule to this flow to only forward .pdf or .doc/.docx files that would also be brilliant.

 

I have looked online for other cases where this has been set up but I cannot find any similiar examples, is there any chance that someone could try building this for us? Thanks!

    1) Trigger when email received from job board with attachments
    2) initialise an attachments array variable (empty for now)
    3) initialise an attachment count integer variable
    4) get all email attachments
    5) Put the following into an apply to each loop (for each attachment)
    6) condition: if attachment name ends contains .pdf  or .doc
    7) if yes: append to attachment array + increment attachment count variable by 1
    8') if no: nothing
    9) end of apply to each
    10) Condition: attachment count variable is greater than 0
    11) if yes: send email with subject from original email + attach attachment array
    12) if no: empty
