Saving email attachments (.msg) with flow

[Tchawla]

Hello Experts,

I m working on flow. where I need to save attachment in Sharepoint Libary. 

It is working for all type of files (pdf, word, xls).. But It doesnt work if email attachment comes with (.msg) or eml

A user send email with another email as attachment. So I m wanting to save that attachment into SharePoint. 

It seems .MSG is not being recogized as attachment.

Anybody else faced issue like this ?

Any help will be much appericaited. 

Regards

Hi @Tchawla ,

I did the test on my side and there is indeed a scene you described.

I guess you added Outlook Item as an attachment in Outlook client, so this happens.

Currently, MS Flow cannot save Outlook items. Even if you add locally stored .eml or .msg files as attachments, they will be automatically sent as Outlook Item on Outlook client.

This type of file is judged in MS Flow as no attachment included in the email, so the file cannot be extracted. Moreover, the size of the file is 0, and there is no file content that can be extracted.

But if you use Outlook.com to send mail and send the locally saved .eml/.msg file as an attachment, we could save these attachments file in SharePoint Library.

Please take a try.

Best Regards,

Thanks for your reply. 

unfortunately sending files through outlook.com and localy saved .eml doesn't solve my problem.
