Automate Power Automate Email Attachments: Filter, Fix Corrupt Files, and Save to SharePoint

Stop wasting time on broken email attachments! In this Power Automate tutorial, you'll discover how to reliably send multiple email attachments—like PDFs—using the Office 365 Outlook connector, while filtering out unwanted files and avoiding common pitfalls like corrupted or blank attachments. If you've struggled with workflow automation for email handling in Power Platform, this guide will save your day.

We'll break down every step so you can automate your business processes, boost productivity, and even save those filtered attachments directly to SharePoint. Perfect for anyone looking to master low-code solutions, citizen development, or digital transformation with cloud flows.

What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Filter and forward only selected email attachments (like PDFs) using Power Automate
✔️ Avoid corrupt or unreadable files by building the correct attachment object structure
✔️ Save filtered attachments automatically to SharePoint for seamless document management
