I have a Flow running which successful takes emails that arrive to a shared mailbox and if they have attachments, it saves them to a SharePoint folder destination. I get quite a few zip files as email attachments and instead of saving the zip file to the SharePoint folder, I would like to be able to extract its contents and save that to the same SharePoint Folder destination instead.
Below is the condition I have added but it has a requirement for a source file path, which I assume varies due to the email attachment.
Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Pringle ,
You couldn't extract the .zip file from the email attachment.
Please take a try to save the .zip file in the sharepoint folder and then extract it with Microsoft flow.

Hi Alice,
Thank you for your advise which I have tried and built into my flow and works. The challenge I now face is when a .zip folder is extracted, it extracts to another folder. I have tried re-running the Extract Folder action to get the folder contents (documents) to extract to the desired folder location, but as it is no longer an attachment or a .zip file - I am unable to use the "attachment name" dynamic content in my source file path (See Below)
Any further advise you can provide on how I can re-extract the new created folder to the desired end folder location would be greatly appreciated
