Keep incoming files organized without losing control of who can see them.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For a mailbox and storage location an organization is authorized to manage, save attachments from eligible incoming messages to a designated folder. Define which messages and file types qualify, protect personal and confidential documents, and verify storage access and retention. Treat every attachment as untrusted: scan it with approved security tools and never open or execute a file just because it arrived by email.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

Eligible attachments stored in an access-controlled folder with source and review context.

What this workflow could do

Checks incoming email for attachments and saves eligible files to a selected storage folder using their original names.

Review points proposed in this idea

Email attachments can contain sensitive data, malware, or misleading filenames. Limit the mailbox and file types, use restricted storage, scan files before use, and prevent duplicate or unexpected files from overwriting records.

Use only an account the organization is authorized to manage and a defined document-handling need.

Step 1 of 5

Confirm the mailbox and filing purpose

Use only an account the organization is authorized to manage and a defined document-handling need.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

01
Define mailbox and attachment eligibility
Document which messages and file types may be filed and which must be excluded.
02
Protect destination access
Restrict the folder to people who need the documents and avoid public sharing links.
03
Set malware and duplicate safeguards
Scan untrusted files, flag unusual names or sizes, and prevent accidental overwrites.
04
Set retention and exception review
Assign an owner for sensitive, unexpected, or policy-restricted attachments.
