"Any attachment is password protected" or "AttachmentIsPasswordProtected" in flow?

In flow, is there an expression equivalent to (or a way of connecting to/calling) the transport rule "Any attachment... is password protected" or the "AttachmentIsPasswordProtected" exchange online shell command'?  If so, how do I do either/both?

    Hi Kris,

     

    I am trying to differentiate between archives that are able to be unzipped, those of unsupported filetypes, and those that are password protected to save them in different folderson OneDrive for subsequently handling them differently with other flows (one for a vanilla unzip, one for a filetype conversion, and one for unzipping password protected archives). 

     

    Currently my best workaround is to prepend something to the filenames in a transport rule that I then divert with flows, but this is far from ideal.  

     

    As you suggest I will raise this as an idea.  This is a pre-existing command in exchange admin and shell and should be a simple addition for the flow team.

    Hi @jgtokyo,

     

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to check if the attachment is password protect using expression within Microsoft Flow?

     

    I afraid that there is no way to check if the attachment is password protected (there is no expression equivalent to the transport rule "Any attachment is password protected" ) in Microsoft Flow currently, if you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas

     

    In addition, please check if the following article would help in your scenario:

    Best regards,

    Kris
