Start a separete flow for each attachment in an email?

[eddevadde]

I'm building a flow that handles email attachments and saves them to a SharePoint library, and onwards pushes them into an approval process.
 
I've managed to filter out email signatures and only accept certain file types, but i am still having some issues since i have to use "apply to each" statements. When i configure my approval, I cannot retreive any data from the sharepoint file creation, since it's located in another "apply to each".
 
Q. Is it possible to start a separete flow for each attachment in an email?

Thanks

Hi eddevadde,

I assume that your flow is triggered by “Office 365 Outlook – When a new email arrives”. Could you show me a screenshot of your flow?

When we use this trigger, the attachments in the email will be saved in the destination folder, such as a SharePoint library.

If you want to start a flow for each attachment in an email, you may consider to create another flow which is triggered by “SharePoint – When a file is created”.

Please try if this trigger will meet your needs.

Best regards,
Mabel Mao

Thanks for your reply!

The problem with the approach you are suggesting is that i loose the metadata about the file. Like the sender of the original email. I also cannot manually create any meta data for a file in SharePoint? (I just started working with flow so i might be missing something here.)

This is the flow, in three parts, since i can't fit it all in one screen.

Start of flow:

Create file in SharePoint (Tillämpa på vardera)


Approval process (Tillämpa på vardera 2)
