Download attachments only having extensions .pdf, .xlsx, .docx, .xlsm from Outlook

Help

Hello,

I believe part of the above query is answered in few topics and even i got help from few people but it’s not working exactly.
My bot should only download attachments having . xlsx, .pdf, .docx, .xlsm from outlook and then save those files in local folder and move those mails to another sub folder in Outlook.

If i am not putting any conditions for attachments to be downloaded it’s downloading everything except .xlsm files, so just to avoid confusion i want to filter the downloaded attachments by their extension name.
I tried using “.pdf” in save attachment’s filter options, it works but i can’t put as “pdf” OR “.xlsx” OR’.doc" in filter option, it throws error and even i don’t want to use multiple save attachments and put separate individual filters in all(any how even that doesn’t work)

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Alternatively, enter the following in the filter option of the save attachments activity: “.*(xlsx,pdf,docx,xlsm)”
