I am trying to figure out how to create a condition where TRUE condition is the email attachment file type is an excel spreadsheet and the FALSE condition is any other file type.

    Hi,
     
    Excel spreadsheets have a specific file content type you can check.  In my test, it works well.
     
     
    application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
     
    The key here is to make sure you turn on Only with Attachments and Include Attachments in the trigger, shown below.
