Creating a cloud flow to save linked PDF from email

Posted on by bhubah

I receive an email from the same sender every morning. The body of the email is always different but it always contains a hyperlink ("Read on") that opens a PDF in my browser.

I have been trying to create a flow that would open the email, open link to the PDF and save the PDF on my company drive. So far, I am able to trigger when the email arrives but I cannot figure out the next step. I have been trying to us HTML to text on the email body but this results in a 404 error.

Any ideas?

Take a look at this forum question here, which I believe will help you with the step of pulling out the hyperlink from the email. Once you have the hyperlink, you can use HTTP request to retrieve the file and then save its contents.

I think you can use Power automate desktop which reads the outlook emails- captures the pdf link from each email's email body - open the url/link in browser- download the pdf file to specific location.

Hope it helps !
