I’ve been perusing the Flow Community lately (if you haven’t yet, I strongly encourage it) and I noticed multiple questions related to filtering email attachments.

Note: Saving the files to OneDrive for Business, a SharePoint site, or even a local file share does not matter in this instance. 

Previously, we would either need to use a Switch action for each statement per file extension or write a long OR IF expression in the Condition box. With the latest improvements in Conditions, we can now easily accomplish this using the “Attachments Name”:

New improvements with the Condition action make saving email attachments a breeze. Watch this 10 minute video to walk you through the entire process, step-by-step.
