Ngl, I am not in business or any of these stuff but your videos are so entertaining anyway!

Thank you, Leila!

One important tip to add is - always rename your blocks. When your flow gets bigger, it gets quite confusing to select the right blocks metadata. Automate will just suffix a number so it gets confusing.

Leila such a wonderful video

Super usefull video. Please do more videos about Power Automate

Hi Leila, Firstly thank you - you are my No 1 go to for all things excel, power Query and more!! Thank you. Can you help? Love this power Automate video, but how would you ensure you do not extract the email signature from the email. :)

This was just what I needed! I augmented by adding a Compose Step with date to use in file name: formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd') Then I used date in file name, but I had to put it AFTER file name and BEFORE extension. For me this was easy because my emails are automated with the name of the file as the subject line (these are automated backup files sent from Dynamics CRM using Click2Export plugin), so I named file = Subject Outputs.xlsx Other paople may need to use a COMPOSE to replace .xlsx or other file suffix with date and .xlsx in file name, that should work too.

Very informative video

Awesome, ¡you are the best!

Leila you are great 👍

Hi perhaps you've covered this in another video, but I cannot seem to figure this one out. The email received is also downloading the images within the email, but I only want to save the excel file. I understand this would be corrected in conditions, but just don't know how. If you have a video on this, I'd appreciate the link to it! Thank you.

I have yet to graduate to Power Automate ... I am 'old-school' and am still wrestling with Power Manual. Maybe for the right scenario I will graduate ... someday. However, I have a client that does employ Power Automate. But on several occasions, he has called looking for a 'deliverable', assuming that it was late. It was not late. His 'automation' worked as intended, but he forgot that he created the 'process' and never checked his own folders. He was outsmarted by his own creation ... 😏... 😣 PS - but still marvel at Prof Leila's comprehension of the subject matter ... 👍👍

Super awesome. Thank you. Need to be able to add prefix to the file to indicate the sender?!

How I have been waiting for this

Leila, we have this done too, but your Flow has one fatal flaw, If someone sends file with the same name it overwrites the previous one. We solve it by creating Document Library with new unique file name from Date+Time+AttachmentNumber+RandomNumber and Orignal name is saved in custom text attribute. Also You can create Directory with Sender Name (Sharepoint Flow Action) and save file there - You won't need the Switch to do that.

Very interesting however there may be some significant security risks by auto downloading attachments that may have malicious content embedded. Nonetheless, this certainly presents another "out of the box" approach to redundant tasks. Thanks for sharing Lelia..

@Sancarn

Downloading files isn't dangerous. It's only a risk if you run the file (or if another application runs the file). If these are custom business folders, that's not going to be a risk. If downloading those files kicks off other flows, that could be a risk though. Really it depends on the circumstance.

@jaredwaterman5868

6 ай бұрын

though, its doubtful a malicious attacker trying to send an attachment would know the subject line needed in the trigger.. without XelPlus Project included, it shouldn't run the flow, creating a barrier for "auto downloading" which is more like saving a file rather than downloading...

Thank you for this Leila. I have been using this since 2 years now and have found this very useful. I did not know about the Switch/Case. How do you filter out images found in signatures though? I have found the flow saves all images and small useless files as well?

@Lahmeinthehouse

Жыл бұрын

Place it on a drive and sync it to the desktop

I've been doing this for a few years. I save all attachments to OneDrive. I only do this because I can use bing to search those files. If you are logged into Office 365 then you will see an option at the top of the search result page called "Work" or "School". It's right in the same row of filters All/Web/Images/News etc. It filters the search to your files, notes, teams conversations in your office 365 account. It's fantastic, I don't know why Microsoft doesn't promote this more.

thanks Leila

This could be useful for shared projects - wonder if there’s a way to have the download occur to one’s desktop?

Thanks! Very useful! Is there any way not to save the signatures?

Thanks Leila for sharing this video, This one is useful but can we create folder, if not created already basis Month (when email arrived) and text in subject line and then save attachments. I don't know whether this would be feasible in Power automate.

hello thanks for the info really helpful. Just wondering how i filter out "Images" as i only want to save PDF and XLS attachments?

Thanks a lot for the video. Can we automate the same for Gmail as well?

Hi Leila, thank you so much for your videos, they are precious. Regarding this video i have a "problem" that you might can help to solve. The power automate is saving images from the body of the email on sharepoint but i just want the excel that comes as attachment. Is there any way to specify the type of the file to be save (xlsx)?

I like to add the date and time the email was received as a prefix to the attachment name. If you get 2 attachments with the same name, they don't overwrite the previous.

@csabaoszkar

2 жыл бұрын

I think this is possible by adding the "received time" dynamic content to the file name during the file creation, e.g. RECEIVED TIME - ATTACHMENT CONTENT. I think the "attachment content" dynamic content needs to be the last one in the row, as that determines the final file extension - still testing this.

Hi, thanks for your awesome videos! I scheduled some reports to be sent as email attachment, would it be possible to automate not only the download but also rename it and replace existing file in specific folder?

Been using vba to achieve something like this (save invoices in folder of supplier, for each month). Still this looks interesting and potentially easier.

Thanks for this great video, it will be really helpful to my, just a question, is it possible to rename the file before saving? Thanks again!

Thanks for the video. Really appreciate the detailed video. Can you please provide some more information on how to add more steps to only include attachments that are .pdf? The flow is pulling in all attachments for me including in the body of the email (i.e. .jpg etc)

Leila! Thanks for the tips. There're very helpfull. I'm wondering if you would know how to just import to onedrive or sharepoint (whatever) some type of attachments as xlsx, xls or csv files.

Thanks for the Informative video. Can we automate extraction of password from mail and open the attachment

They thanks a lot! Can this be done on previous Emails as well or this is only for new incoming emails?

Lelia, thanks for your video, can teach me how to save email attachments with specific name? Thank you.

Really amazing, Simple and easy to follow how to do. Thank very much. But I would like to know it can be restricted file type to save in SharePoint.

That's powerfull! What are the licensing requirements to use this feature? Thanks!

Instead of rebuilding that Sharepoint action for each switch, you can copy and paste the earlier instance. In the first instance, click the three dot menu and copy to clipboard, then, in the switch, click My Clipboard when creating the new action. Edit as needed.

Finally..you started something on power automate. Eagerly waiting for a full fledged course to master it...but for now i am struggling with one thing, may be you can help. In one of my flows the from field does not take an external shared mail box id that is from another company but it takes inividual ids from that company. How can i fix this?

hi Leila, great video. How can I add in a condition if the attachment name is the same everyday. Is there a way to overwrite the older file? Thank you

Hi Leila, this is so helpful thanks! I setup an email to save attachment from outside vendor. How can I test if that was correct? Next run is only tomorrow morning, but I hope to test if the automate worked to save the attachment...
