    Hi @MeThree_,

     

    Do you want to save email body into a PDF file and save the file into an OneDrive folder?

    Please try the following flow. You could create a file on OneDrive folder, then use the action Convert file to convert the document to pdf file.

    Please check the following screenshot for a reference.

    I've written a blog post which shows how to actually include the embedded images on the Outlook email to the generated PDF file with PowerAutomate using API conversion service from ConvertAPI. If you have resources & skillset, you can write your own conversion service in Azure which can then be called in PowerAutomate, have provided insights on the blog post. Find below the link to the blog post:

    Hope this helps someone.
