Forwarding an email attachment to a recipient from text string

Hello,

TLDR: Can't figure out how to forward email attachment to a new recipient. I only have 1 day of experience using MS Flow.

I am trying to create an automated flow which extracts an email address from the body of an email, and then forwards the attachment on the original email to said person. I am having two issues:

Issue#1 - I am using the "SPLIT" expression to locate the email address that is in the body of my email (see HTML code below).

After several expressions that should leave me with only the email address

last(split(variables('Email Body'),'<td colspan="2">SID - Submitter ID </td>'))
split(variables('EmailStep1'),'<td colspan="2">')
first(split(variables('EmailStep2'),' '))

"<tr>

<td colspan="2">SID - Submitter ID </td>

<td colspan="2">connor.riley@123.com   </td>

</tr>"

Eventually, (no matter what i do) i end up with something similar to this screenshot below.
Any recommendations? - Am i using the wrong method to extract the email?

Issue#2 - I'm not sure what function i can use to get my attachment from the original email.

I see a funciton to "get attachment" from an email, but it requires an Email ID which i am not sure how to find.

Re: Forwarding an email attachment to a recipient from text string

Hi @jujernigan,

Please refer to these steps to process your HTML content into an Email Address array:

1. Initialize an array variable named EmailAddress.

2. Convert the HTML content into text.

3. Use Split function to create array, I choose blank character as a delimiter in there.

4. Put the output of the Split function (it is an array) into the Apply to each action, then create a condition to determine the member whether having "@123.com", if it has, append it into the EmailAddress array.

5. You can use the compose in the end to check the array, hope it helps.
