Find and download linked files in the email body

Automatic Email Manager has the capability to identify and download files linked within the email body. These files are then processed as regular attachments. This feature is especially useful when you receive emails without direct attachments but containing links to download files, such as invoices or other documents.

It allows you to automatically retrieve and store linked files, treating them as if they were traditional attachments. This functionality comes in handy when dealing with various scenarios, including links to files stored on platforms like OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

• Exclude these urls: Optional, you can exclude some links. For example exclude the link condition.pdf, or just keyword privacy,...
• Destination folder: If you fill this setting, the action will save to this folder directly AND NOT to the email's folder like a classic attachment (that's mean the file will not be processed by other actions, like print).
