Update OneDrive file with content from an email attachment

Posted on by grayishfiber

Hello,

New Flow user here trying to automate a common business situation.

I receive a report daily from an old ERP system that is an input I use for a Power BI report. File comes as a .txt file attached to the email. I want to take that attachment and write it to a file one my OneDrive for business account.

I have the logic for taking an action when I receive this particular email working flawlessly, but I haven't been able to get create file or update file to work at all.

This is the error I'm getting with create file:

I have verified that Include Attachments is set to "Yes" on the "When a new email arrives" step of the flow.

I really don't care if the file lives on OneDrive or a network location but my understanding is storing it on a network location isn't a feature provided in my E3 license. I just need the same file updated every time this email arrives.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @grayishfiber ,

Could you share a detailed screen shot on how is the flow set up?

From your description, it seems that you would like to create email attachments to OneDrive for Business.

I have tried with the following flow, which is working properly to save the attachments to OneDrive for Business.

Best regards,

Mabel

Thanks for your reply! I was actually able to figure it out based on the working flow you provided. I was missing the "get attachment" action. Once I added that my flow functioned as expected.
