Hi @Mathkar_kunal,

You can achieve this using Get Outlook Mail Messages along with Save Attachments.

First, use Get Outlook Mail Messages and set the filter to "[Subject] = 'JWO Filles'" to fetch the required emails. You can configure this in the Properties panel (as shown on the right side). Then, loop through the retrieved emails using a For Each MailMessage activity. Inside the loop, use Save Attachments, pass the CurrentMailMessage, and provide your target folder path.

Optionally, you can add a condition to check CurrentMailMessage.Attachments.Count = 2 to ensure only emails with two attachments are processed.

If this helps, please consider marking it as a solution so it can help others as well.

Thanks!

not understood.
created variable email list . now where to pass it?

[iampnkz (Pankaj KUMAR)]

Hi,

You can remove the Get Outlook Desktop Mail Message.

Inside the Do block of the For Each Email, add an If condition. In the Then section, use Save Attachments and pass the CurrentEmail variable.

Thanks

Hi @Mathkar_kunal,

You need to use If activity. Check the below snapshot.

@Mathkar_kunal Please follow below steps and let me know if it works or not

1. Drag Get Outlook Desktop Mail Messages activity into your workflow.

2. Set Mail folder as "Inbox".

3. In the Filter property, use:
   [Subject] = 'JWO Filles'

4. Create an output variable for this activity, for example:
   out_Mails

5. Drag a For Each activity after that.

6. Set the type argument as System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.

7. Use out_Mails in the For Each loop.

8. Inside the loop, add Save Email Attachments activity.

9. In MailMessage, pass the current mail item.

10. In FolderPath, give the folder path where you want to save the attachments.
