Flow / Power Automate - Save Automatically an attachment Video
In this video, you will learn how to save attachments automatically using Power Automate.
The video demonstrates the process of creating a flow from scratch and connecting Power Automate to Office Outlook.
The flow is triggered every time a new email arrives, and Power Automate checks for attachments and filters emails with the word "certification" in the subject.
The attachments are then saved in a designated folder in OneDrive for Business, with the file name being the same as the attachment.
This tutorial will help you automate the process of saving attachments, saving you time and effort.

Objectifs :
This tutorial aims to guide users through the process of creating an automated flow in Power Automate from scratch, specifically focusing on how to manage email attachments efficiently.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Power Automate
In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a flow from scratch using Power Automate. The goal is to automate the process of collecting email attachments, specifically certifications related to a webinar, without manual intervention. -
Creating Your First Flow
To begin, navigate to the home page of Power Automate and click on 'Create' to start building your first flow. For this example, we will set up a flow that checks for incoming emails containing attachments. -
Setting Up the Trigger
We will create an automated cloud flow that is triggered by a specific event. Click on 'Skip' to access a blank canvas. The first step is to connect Power Automate to Office Outlook. The trigger for our flow will be 'When a new mail arrives'. -
Filtering Emails
To refine the flow, we can use advanced options to instruct Power Automate to only look for emails with attachments. Additionally, we will filter emails that contain the word 'certification' in the subject line. This ensures that only relevant emails are processed. -
Connecting to OneDrive
Next, we want Power Automate to save the attachments to OneDrive. Be cautious to select 'OneDrive for Business' rather than your personal OneDrive. We will set the flow to create a file in a designated folder, specifically in the 'email attachments from Power Automate' folder. -
Naming the Files
Instead of manually naming each file, we will utilize dynamic content to name the files based on the attachment names. This is crucial since we expect to receive around 100 certifications. -
Copying Attachment Content
We will also use dynamic content to instruct Power Automate to copy and paste the content of the email attachments into the corresponding files in OneDrive. -
Saving and Testing the Flow
After setting up the flow, click on 'Save'. It is important to use the flow checker to identify any errors or warnings. You can test the flow manually or automatically to ensure it functions as intended. -
Managing Your Flow
If you no longer need the flow, you can access it through the 'My Flows' button. Use the 'Edit' button to modify the flow, change the destination folder, or adjust the subject filter. To deactivate the flow, simply use the ellipsis and select 'Turn off'. Once turned off, the flow will cease to run.
FAQ :
What is Power Automate used for?
Power Automate is used to create automated workflows that connect different applications and services, allowing users to automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency.
How do I create a flow in Power Automate?
To create a flow in Power Automate, go to the home page, click on 'Create', choose the type of flow you want, and follow the prompts to set up triggers and actions.
What types of triggers can I use in Power Automate?
You can use various triggers in Power Automate, such as receiving a new email, a scheduled time, or an event in another application. Each trigger initiates the flow based on specific conditions.
Can I customize the name of files created in OneDrive using Power Automate?
Yes, you can customize the name of files created in OneDrive by using dynamic content to name the file based on the attachment name or any other relevant information.
What should I do if I encounter errors in my flow?
If you encounter errors in your flow, use the Flow Checker tool in Power Automate to identify and resolve any issues before saving or running the flow.
How can I stop a flow from running in Power Automate?
To stop a flow from running, go to the 'My Flows' section, select the flow you want to turn off, and use the ellipsis menu to turn off the flow.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Automating Certification Collection
A marketing team can use Power Automate to automatically collect and store certifications from colleagues after a webinar. By setting up a flow that triggers on new emails with attachments containing the word 'certification', the team can save time and ensure all certifications are stored in a designated OneDrive folder.
Streamlining Document Management
An HR department can implement a flow in Power Automate to manage employee documents. Whenever a new document is received via email, the flow can automatically save it to the appropriate OneDrive for Business folder, ensuring that all documents are organized and easily accessible.
Automated Reporting
A sales team can create a flow that compiles weekly sales reports from various emails. By setting triggers for emails with specific subject lines, the flow can gather attachments and save them in a shared OneDrive folder, making it easier for the team to access and review reports.
Monitoring Project Updates
A project manager can set up a flow to monitor project updates sent via email. By filtering for emails with attachments and specific keywords, the flow can automatically save relevant documents to a project folder in OneDrive, keeping all project materials organized.
