Working with data of content-type "multipart/form-data" from webform post method

On a website that is build with the Google AMP Framework and being served as a github site using jekyll, I'm trying to implement a simple form to register for an event.
I want to use Power Automate and other office 365 apps to save the registration to a list (or maybe sql database later) create an invoice and a confirmation as pdf, store these on my onedrive and sent them to the attendee.
Its a long way to go for me as I already have difficulties of getting the data formated in Power Automate.
I just set up an HTTP Request as a trigger and copied the endpoint to the action property in my amp-form and then choose to send an email to myself with the body of the HTTP-Request as an action in Power Automate.
The flow runs successful and I get an email with this content:

------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name" arne ------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email" arne@xxx.de ------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb--
------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name" arne ------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email" arne@xxx.de ------WebKitFormBoundaryMqjKMxrlP36jnKTb--

So the data from the form is there, but I have no idea how to format/extract the key values name: "arne" and email: "arne@xxx.de" to use it in power automate. Is there a simple solution?

    Hi,

     

    The only way I can think of is using the Split function in order to try and extract the information you need out of the giant HTTP string. However there are a few variables that will depend on how this is generated and how consistent the data is. I'll include a link below; on how to use the Split function feel free to take a look.

    Regards,
