Flow to extract attachments from Inbox
- No - the 'apply to each' required are automatically added by Flow when it detects that you are using an output that is an array - e.g. if you use an output from 'get emails' (rather than get email) - the action is automatically put inside a 'apply to each'.
Basically, you Flow would need to look almost identical to mine, in terms of blocks, at least.
Regarding the limit on number of emails it will get - I'm not sure, but it would be easy to test.
If you do find there is a limit, you may need to move batches of emails into a folder, and run the Flow multiple times.
I like this flow and already using it but I need to have something more specific.
I want to extract the attachment but only certain files , like pdf file. I don't want images to get into my folder.
Any idea on how to do that ?
I just posted a thread on a similar topic.
I want to extract 1 particular attachment from a received email, and save it to Sharepoint. Easy enough with pre-built flows by MSFT, except the "apply to each" piece that kicks in automatically during the build. Signature lines contain lots of png and jpeg files as attachments that get saved due to "apply to each" and I need a way to identify and pull only the file in word or excel as the attachment, skipping the others from sig line. any takers on helping with how to do this?
