I am trying to copy a url from the attachment of an outlook email and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. I have tried to initialize variables, convert it to html, and other tips from online but nothing has worked yet. When I choose get attachments in the trigger, I get the url, but not in a link format and not in the right column in excel. Any tips or suggestions?

This flow almost works, but when I use Attachment item within the append to string, it returns all information, not the url.

Re: Copy a url link from outlook and paste it into an excel column

I want to grab whatever attachment is in the email, sometimes it is a powerpoint, sometimes a pdf, sometimes a spreadsheet, and could be others. I want the attachment pasted into an excel column.
I am trying to capture the frequently asked questions, answers, and documents my team provides for customers in an excel sheet. Let me know if that helps to clarify, thanks.

@carleighbruno

When you say "copy a url from the attachment of an outlook email", do you mean a url string contained within an attachment? If so, what file type is the attachment and how are you identifying the URL within the attachment?

I'm slightly confused by your requirement and it not matching up with the flow diagram...
