How to save file attachment received in your Outlook mailbox

I have to collect and save customer's reports I receive every day through Outlook mail.

How I do: As soon as I receive email with report attached, I need to save it in my Onedrive folder.

How can I do it better: If you want to automate this routine work so that you don't have to worry of saving reports you receive during weekends, you can create a flow that automatically saves your report to Onedrive folder when you receive a particular email with an attachment

ABOUT: Microsoft Flow is cloud-based software now known as Power Automate. It allows employees to create and efficiently automate workflows and tasks for various applications and services without the help of developers. Automated workflows are called workflows.
