■Overview
Manually converting Word files received in Outlook to PDF and sharing them in Microsoft Teams is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors such as missed shares. With this workflow, you can automate the entire process—from converting an attached Word file to PDF to sharing it in Microsoft Teams—when a specific email is received. Streamline these routine tasks and create more time to focus on higher-priority work.
■Who Is This Template For?
- Anyone who regularly converts and shares Word files received in Outlook as PDFs
- Anyone looking to improve operational efficiency by eliminating errors in manual file conversion and sharing
- Anyone looking to build a system for quickly sharing information within their team using Microsoft Teams
■Benefits of Using This Template
- Automate the entire process, from receiving an email to converting the file and sharing it in Teams, reducing the time previously spent on manual tasks.
- Reduce the risk of human error, such as failing to convert a Word file to PDF or sharing the wrong file, and improve operational accuracy.
■Flowbot Steps
- First, connect Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook to Yoom.
- Next, select Outlook as the trigger and set the action to “When an email with a specific subject is received.”
- Then, configure Outlook’s “Get information about email attachments” action.
- Next, add a branch operation so the workflow proceeds only when the retrieved attachment is a Word file.
- Use Outlook’s “Download email attachment” action to retrieve the file.
- Use OneDrive’s “Upload file” action to upload the downloaded file to a specified folder.
- Convert the file to PDF using OneDrive’s “Download file in PDF format” action.
- Use OneDrive’s “Upload file” action to upload the converted file to OneDrive again.
- Configure the AI feature’s “Extract text” action to extract the eTag from the uploaded file.
- Finally, configure Microsoft Teams’ “Send a message to a channel” action, include information about the converted PDF file, set up the attachment using the eTag, and send a notification to the specified channel.
※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that performs processing within the flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization Options
■Customization Options
- When uploading a file to OneDrive, you can set the file name dynamically using not only a fixed value but also information obtained in previous steps, such as the email subject or received date and time. This makes files easier to organize and manage.
■Notes
- Connect Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams to Yoom.
- You can select a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- Note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on your plan.
- Flowbots with more than five operations can be created on the Personal plan or higher. On the Free plan, the Flowbot will not run.
- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) offers plans for home and business use (Microsoft 365 Business). Authentication may fail if you are not subscribed to a business plan.
- The maximum downloadable file size is 300 MB. Depending on the app specifications, the limit may be less than 300 MB.
- For details on the file size limits for triggers and individual operations, see File Size Limits.
- Branching is an operation available on the Personal plan or higher. On the Free plan, operations configured in the Flowbot will result in an error.
