Extract email attachments from Outlook365 Group

Question

Hello,

I'm supporting a client that has asked me to extract attachments from an employee's inbox and save those attachments to SharePoint. We've moved his emails to an Outlook 365 Group and from what I understand the browser version of Outlook 365 does not support VBA Editor. The instance of Outlook on my customer's computers is the 2013 version so although VBA Editor would be supported, that version of Outlook does not support Outlook 365 groups. Any suggestions on how to overcome this obstacle?

Answer 1

Afaik there's no support for O365 Groups access via VBA anyway. So you'll need to use EWS or the Graph API.

You could save your email attachments into a SharePoint document library through Power Automate template. In this flow template, you should fill in the Folder in the On new email with attachment action, Site Address and Folder Path in the Create file action.
