Outlook Get Attachments

Type: outlook-get-attachments · Package: Outlook Activities v1.0.0 · Output: List

`entryId`	expression	Mail EntryID (from `correo.Id`).
`outputDir`	expression	Local folder where to save the attachments.

Optional parameters

Output

Example

Save the invoices attached to each email and process them:

For Each   items = = correos   itemVariable = correo
 └─ activities:
      Outlook Get Attachments   entryId = = correo.Id   outputDir = "C:/facturas"   → output: archivos
      For Each   items = = archivos   itemVariable = ruta
       └─ activities:
            Read Excel Sheet   path = = ruta   → output: datos
            ... procesar ...

Outlook Get Emails — get emails (and their EntryIDs).
Create Directory — ensure that outputDir exists.
