Condition filter for email attachments before saving

[r96359]

Is there any way to filter the attachments for just xlsx files for example?

I get a lot of jpg, png signature images etc that I do not want to save. I just want to save xlsx files for example.

In power automate, I would set up a condition step but I don't see how to do that in power automate Desktop.

Thanks!

Hi,

For now, I don't see any condition filter for email attachments that you can filter by document type. And even while iterating for each item inside the loops of all attachments, I also don't see any data that you can filter by type.

I think you can just make a workaround solution for this by creating another flow to delete the unnessesary files you don't need once the file is saved.

Thanks and hope it can help you.

Hello @miketran13 ,

Thanks. Is this the same answer for filtering by a contains string?

Is there any operation currently that interrupts the download of the attachments and allows logic to supersede?

Hi,

You can have a look at the below steps, I have these steps:

Retrieve Email Messages (Save attachments to a temp folder)

Get file in Temp folder (only get .xlsx files) 

Move these files to folder Done

Delete all files in Temp folder

Thanks and hope it can help you.

I figured that might be my only other path (no pun intended). I used delete folder which deletes all files within as well. Appreciate the help! Cheers
