Pull Excel spreadsheet from email

Hi,

I have an email that comes into outlook with an excel attachment.

I’m wondering if there is a way to track the email coming in and pull the excel from the email into a folder?

Thanks
Shawn

@shawnmurray,

There are 2 ways you can achieve the same.

  1. Trigger Based Automation - we Write a Bot which gets activated whenever we have a new email received on the Inbox - we verify the Subject/ Sender and then we Download the Attachment.

  2. Scheduled Bot - we schedule a Bot for every say 15 minutes - which comes and checks the mailbox for the specified Email - IF found - Download the same in Folder.

For the Solutions - we can use SavemailAttachment Activity - This activity has the capability to Save mail attachment to Folder. Below is the Link to refer
