I have a following process to automate in my PA: When email arrives to outlook's specific folder, save email's attachment to Onedrive folder.

Problem: attachment files often have same names, despite different content.

I need either to :

  1. Check if file with same name already exists in onedrive, if so - add counter or something, like 'file_2..3..4'
  2. Or probably easier - Save attachment file with date, like 'attachment_dd.mm.yy.xlsx'

How could this be achieved properly?

Currently, I have tried the 2nd options, with filename concat with emails date, but perhaps there is a better way:

  • Does your current approach work? If so, maybe just go with it. There’s no right answer for what you’re doing. – Skin Sep 03 '22 at 05:20
  • I agree with Skin. Your current approach with the concat function and using the receivedDateTime looks fine :) – Expiscornovus Sep 05 '22 at 11:48
  • I was hoping to find way to approach option #1 with file check, but second option is ok as well :) – Artemy Panin Sep 06 '22 at 15:50
