I am creating a flow that will save an attachment to a specific file location i have that working just fine, what i am wondering is if there is a way to say only save the files i want based on extention.
For example a new email come's in that has two attachments one is a .pdf and the other is a .docx, is there a condition or switch or anything i could put in my flow to say i want to save the attachment that is a pdf to the file system but ignore the word document (.docx)
Any help would be wonderful. Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,
We could add a condition to check if the Attachment name contains the pdf, in the following way:
Doing in this way would only save the pdf file in the proper folder.

Also to add to this is there also a way to ignore email signatures, it seems like when i save attachments to the file system it will also save any images that are in a email signature.

This did work great for me i did expand it more and did advanced conditioning like this ' @or(contains(item()?['Name'], 'pdf'), contains(item()?['Name'], 'docx'), contains(item()?['Name'], 'xlsx'), contains(item()?['Name'], 'zip')) '
just more info for anybody searching for the same solution
