Download attachments from within an email

Question

Does anyone know how to download attachments from within an outlook email? 
These emails are already saved in the “Downloads” folder. There are 100+ emails which have an attachment within them.

I need to connect to this “Downloads” folder and extract only the attachments. Any ideas?

Thank you. Looks like I'm on the older version of Alteryx. I'm using a company license so I won't be able to test this out until we upgrade.

Hi @dsojoe,

You can download attachments from emails using the Outlook email tool.

First configure the tool with your email credentials and select the "Downloads" folder where your content exists in your inbox.

Then, select the "Data" tab and check the "Download attachments from emails" box. You can also indicate where you'd like those attachments saved.

Hope that helps!
