Save attachment based on content

[VTobiska]

Hi,

I would like to save files from mails based on their content. If I do not apply any confitions, it is ok. But I added condition

"if content contains ABC" - "save it to folder A" else "save it to B" and this does not work. I tried .txt., .csv, .xls and without success.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you, Vašek

Hi @VTobiska,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

Do you want to save files from emails based on the content of the attachment files or the content of the email?

If you want to save files from emails based on the content of the attachment files (DOCX file, CSV file, Excel file, etc.), I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently. But if the attchment files is a .txt file, you could take a try with the following workaround:

• Add a "When a new email arrives" trigger.
• Add a "Apply to each", input parameter set to Attachments dynamic content of the trigger.
• Within "Apply to each", add a Condition, click "Edit in advanced mode", type the following formula:

@contains(base64ToString(items('Apply_to_each')?['ContentBytes']), 'ABC')

Within "If/yes" branch of Condition, add a "Create file" action, Folder Path set to Directory A. Within "If/no" branch of Condition, add a "Create file 2", Folder Path set to Directory B.

Note: I assume that you save the attachment files into the folder of OneDrive for Business.

The flow works successfully as below:
