@Bot_YT,

Define a variable for Output property Attachments. This will be your path where the attachments would be downloaded and saved.

Thanks,

Hi @ashokkarale ,

i already did that, its a type of GmailAttachmentLocalItem, should i give a default value to it? i doubt it accepts strings

[ashokkarale]

@Bot_YT,

No need to assign default value.
Use a log message activity to log yourOutputVariable.LocalPath This will be your local path.

Thanks,
Ashok

@ashokkarale ,

I did find the file but, its showing like this

do i need string manipulation in this or we have a separate activity for this too? to correct the extension

[ashokkarale]

@Bot_YT,

It would be collection of the attachments so if the above one don’t work try this to get first attachment

yourOutputVariable(0).LocalPath

@Bot_YT,

It would be as it is file name and extension from the email. Seems it’s a pdf file.

Thanks,

@ashokkarale,

Yes it a PDF File but the name is different there in the Email, its just picking up random characters

@Bot_YT,

It might be due to already exist file in that folder. Try downloading some different file with unique name.
