Hi @phoenix123,
You can for example filter out your image attachment knowing its format extension (like “.jpg”, unless you know that you will be always receiving just the right attachments) within Save Attachments activity For each MailMessage coming from the output of Get Outlook Mail Messages. Then, within Word Application Scope, you can use “Add picture” using the path of your word file and the path to the uploaded attachment. The picture will get added at the end
of the document. In the attached workflow I have placed adding the picture inside For each file (string) in Directory.GetFiles(your folder path) in case your attachment name is unknown (so its full path will be read directly from the folder it gets saved). Does this help? :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: Additional suggestion: you can use Delete file activity to end a loop For Each file in your directory, so you will be able to reuse that directory and For Each file will bring you just the path of this one attachment you have currently uploaded.
