Flow to extract attachments from Inbox
Hi We have a Outlook Inbox that has a subfolder in this that contains lots of emails with attachments on them. We want to be able to extract the attachment from these emails and save them int...
- 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.
Pn1995 I can see that issue, agreed - it only triggers on the most recent email - including if using an Outlook rule to move the emails into the folder.
Using a manually triggered flow like this will do what you need
(Note I have mine set to only get unread emails, and limit to 10 - so you will need to increase that):
Thanks again Rob Ellis
So just to confirm in order for it to "process" more than 1 email you are suggesting that I need to created a "Apply to each" action - so if I want to process 10 emails create 10 "Apply to each"
Also in the "Get Email" "Top" field were you have 10, isn't there a limit of 25 to that?
