Hi,
We'd like to save a copy of an email to a Sharepoint document library for future reference. These are our outbound marketing emails and don't have attachments. We'd like to capture the body of the email, preferably how it looks in email.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Damien
Thanks, that was helpful.
For those experiencing this issue finding this post - I have discovered *a solution* to the issue It may not be your solution - but it was mine for the blank email error.
Make sure in your Flow creation that you in your Create a File component, the File Content you have selected (eg: Body) is the one from the relevant Export component eg:
I noticed that when the "blank" emails are downloading, they're all varying sizes (8kb/15kb/etc) - so I figured they must be downloading some level of content and realised they're not actually blank - they're generating as Word Documents, so if you're using Create a File to make them .eml/.msg then that's why they're blank.
So basically if you're using the Body output from the initial Trigger, then it will generate the email as a Word Document and that's where the confusion is setting in.
Hope this helps someone out there - because I've spent an embarrassingly long amount of time trying to find the solution. There's nothing worse than googling a problem to find someone discovered it 10 years ago, made an updated to say they found a solution, but never gave an answer.
Has anyone else every faced problems with certain parts of the automation skipping? i have tested the flow from my own email address and it works fine, but when i receive an email from the person i want to automate it skips the final process? anyone else ever faced this issue? is there a solution for it?
The Export mail-action leads to a timeout everytime I start the flow.
Instead I tried to directly use
triggerOutputs()?['body']
Instead of create file.
How do I use the export email, to then ad attachment? I want the email exported/saved into the list item as an attachment.
Is this possible rather than a link to a file in the doc library, which I can do with the example above.?
I tried to use this set up to save to One Drive, but I got an error on the Outputs
OK eventually I got this to work, though not sure what i changed or what i did. So my take away is this solution works and it was user error.
Also using the same flow but I get the same blank email as skagawa. I have tried changing the extension from .msg to .eml to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated.
See screen shot,
I used this same flow and got a blank message
