IMAP Save Attachment

IMAP Save Attachment

Type: imap-save-attachment · Package: SMTP / IMAP Email Activities v1.0.0

Downloads and saves email attachments to a local folder, and returns the list of saved routes. Key in processes that receive documents by mail (invoices, forms) and then process them.

How it works

Starting at mailId of an email (the .Id that returns IMAP Read), it downloads its attachments to outputPath. If you enter attachmentName, save only that attachment; if you skip it, save all.

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
`host`	text	Servidor IMAP.
`username`	text	User.
`password`	credencial	Password or App Password. Use `= credential(...)`.
`mailId`	text	Mail UID (of `correo.Id`).
`outputPath`	text	Folder where to save the attachments.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
`port`	number	Puerto IMAP. Por defecto `993`.
`folder`	text	Folder. By default `INBOX`.
`attachmentName`	text	Nombre exacto del adjunto a guardar. Si se omite, guarda todos.
`security`	list	Cifrado: `auto` · `none` · `ssl` (def.) · `starttls`.

Example

For Each   items = = correos   itemVariable = correo
 └─ activities:
      IMAP Save Attachment
        host = "imap.gmail.com"   username = = credential("bot")["user"]   password = = credential("bot").ToPlainText()
        mailId = = correo.Id   outputPath = "C:/facturas"

IMAP Read — get the emails (and their mailId).
Create Directory — ensure that outputPath exists.
