Hey!

Filter the mail by subject or attachments…

After filtering use save attachments activity to download the attachments to particular folder

Hello @Emily_OHeron

What’s the error you are getting while using Save attachments?

if you get the messages, you need to loop through each message using for loop then you can use save attachments.

Thanks

You are in the right place for help :slight_smile:

If you are using Exchange then you can use the “Save Attachments” activity (click here for the documentation). The trouble you might get is saving them dynamically so you don’t overwrite each file. I would suggest adding to your file name something like this:
"attachment "+now.tostring(“dd-MM-yyyy HH;mm;ss.fff”

You can add a filter to only get PDF files if you want.

Hi, I had the same error and soved it like this:

Click on your Get Exchange Mail activity. Under properties > options make sure the “Get Attachments” is checked. Then, save the output in a variable.
Afterwards use a for each activity, to loop through all the retrieved mail message items and use the “Save Attachments” activity.

Hope this helps!
