Save attachment and move the file

[achalisma]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

My goal is to download/save an attachment from an Outlook message and move that attachment/file to a new folder. The problem is that the move file activity needs the name of the file in order to move it. I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

Best regards

Hi @achalisma,

Welcome to UiPath!

I hope this post will give you an idea:

Download Attachments from Outlook

Hi Jothy, Thanks for the response. I couldnt find any activity called Create Folder, is this the correct name of the activity ? I can see Create File & Create Directory. And one more thing suggest how to check the Folder Exists Condition. Thanks

Get the name of the attachment

How to get the filename of attachment?

How could I get the filename of attachment without saving the attachment? I want to compare that name through “if” condition. There are options in coding like item.attachment.display name or item.attachment.filename (for each item in mailbox loop) but I could not find either in UIPath. Please help here.

Move a file or Rename a file

I am trying to insert the following senetence file.move(oldpath,newpath) But I don’t know which activity I must use because I tried to use “Assign” but It is shown a windows “Expresion does not produce a value” Which activity Can I use to Move a file? Is there a way to Rename a file? I don’t see in the options the method “Rename” for a file

Thanks,
Neelima.

I looked into the thread “How to get the filename of attachment?” and I found an .xaml file with the code. Sadly it won’t open and I would like to ask you if you can make a screenshot of the code because I didn’t manage to do it yet
