Extracting outlook attachment from existing emails

Posted on by lvo

I just discovered PA and have been able to create flows to automate extraction of attachments from new incoming emails. Is there a way to create a flow with all the same conditions but instead of applying to new incomings, can be applied to existing emails?

I would start with a Flow that uses a button trigger, Then use a Office 365 Outlook Get Emails action. Configure the action so that only emails with attachments are returned. You can also add addition search criteria. Also, please note that there will be a limit of 250 emails returned. Then loop through the results and do as you see fit with the files.

Hi @lvo ,

Yes, you could as @ScottShearer provided.

And there is a limit on the Get email action, the file count limit is 25 for this action.

You could add a Apply to each under the action and add the Condition inside the Apply to each.

Best Regards,

Alice
