📧 Save Emails to OneDrive with Conditions | DAY-4

🔹 Flow Objective

Today we’ll build a real, beginner-friendly flow that thinks before it acts using a Condition.

Whenever a new email arrives in your Outlook inbox:

• If the email has an attachment → save the full email in the WithAttachment folder in OneDrive.
• If the email does not have an attachment → save the email in the WithoutAttachment folder.

🔹 Step-by-Step Guide

1) Trigger

• Action: When a new email arrives (V3) – Office 365 Outlook connector
• Configuration:
  • Folder: Inbox
  • Include Attachments: No
  • Only with Attachments: No

---

2) Export the Email

• Action: Export email (V2) – Office 365 Outlook connector
• Message Id: from trigger (Message Id)

👉 This action converts the incoming email into an .eml file, preserving formatting, body, and headers.

3) Add Condition

• Action: Condition
• Rule:
  • Has Attachments (from trigger)
  • is equal to
