Save selected emails from outlook to onedrive and add receiving date to filename

Posted on by OMygind

I don't want an automatic unattended savings of emails. I want to be able to select / mark emails that I want to save.
I want to select the destination folder manually.
I want to automatically add the receiving date prior to the filename for each email.

This feature would be nice to be able to activate manually and easily like a keyboard shortcut or button in my Outlook.

    Use Foreach to loop through all emails

    then Use the Display input dialogue box to select the path manually which means you need to give the path manually.

    get the receiving date by using regex or get details of the webpage activity

    then use pad text activity add the receiving date to the prior to filename for current item

     

    Hope this helps
