Extracting specific email attachment and adding it to a sharepoint list

[jbravo]

Greetings! I've only recently discovered this great forum. I've been having issue with one of my flows.

The flow summary is:

1. When new email arrive

   - has attachment, include attachments

2. Create item (sharepoint)

   - it then turns into this:

My problem that it adds all the attachments, like Signature .img and when I only need the user added attachment (.pdf, .docx)

Once it creates the items (5+) on sharepoint, it triggers an approval process for all the attachments. As shown below:

Is there a way to only add a specific attachment?

Thank you.

You could use a condition to check the file extension - only take action on the file types which are of interest to you.  I am referencing Attachment Name in the condition.

Thank you for the prompt response!

The conditional does not trigger item creation in the SP list. This is the error:

Curious, will this add the PDF/Docx to the SP list? or just the Name of the document?

I've tried renaming the doc.pdf , doc.docx in order to ensure that the extension is there. However, I do no think the average user will append it..

Does the conditonal only look at the name of the attachment or the entire file object?

Is your goal to create a list item and add the attachment to the list item or do you want to create a document in a library?  Let me know and I'll create a solution for you.

Hi @jbravo ,

Basically, the file carries the extension, and Attachment Name obtained in Flow also has an extension.

So we recommend using ends with to determine the file type and filter the attachments, which is practical.

In addition, it seems that you want to store the email attachment to the attachment of the item, please refer to the following configuration:

If you want all the attachments to be stored in an item, please refer to this configuration:
