Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Create a Logic App
- Log in to the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com/).
- Navigate to “Create a resource” > “Integration” > “Logic App.”
- Enter a name, select your subscription, resource group, and location, then click on “Create.”
Step 2: Access Logic App Designer
- Once the Logic App is created, click on “Logic App Designer” from the dashboard.
Step 3: Create a Blank Logic App
- In Logic App Designer, click on “Blank Logic App” to start building your workflow.
Step 4: Configure Email Trigger
- Search for and select “Outlook.com” as the trigger.
- Sign in to your Outlook account and choose the specific folder you want to monitor (e.g., Inbox).

- Select the action as “Get Attachment” and configure it to fetch the attachment from the triggered email.
Step 6: Configure Blob Storage Action
- Add another step and choose “Azure Blob Storage” as the action.
- Connect your Azure Blob Storage account with the Logic App.
- Configure the Blob Storage action to create a blob with the attachment content in the desired container and folder.
Step 7: Test and Run the Logic App
- Save your Logic App and run a test by sending an email with the specified subject keyword and attachment.
- Verify that the Logic App successfully retrieves the attachment and saves it to the Blob Storage container.
