How to filter attachments for example images in the body of the email?

[Captainshame (Xuan Yang)]

Hi,

Currently working on a project that requires me to save attachments in a folder however when I use the save attachments activity, the images that come with the message signatures are saved too. I know that I am able to use the filter in properties to filter out the images but how?

Thank you!

Hello @Captainshame ,

What kind of attachments you want to save?

In the filter section, you can write a Regex pattern, in order to filter for specific types of documents.

How to save only a specific file type using Save Attachment activity?

Hi, I need to save only excel files from an email attachment. How can do it? I found there is a Filter property in Save Attachments activity? Is that right option to use? If yes, help me with the Syntax to use Filter property.

You can try this pattern:

“.*(?i)(.PDF|.pdf)”
