In the last step, add another action in Pabbly Connect to upload the email attachment to the newly created OneDrive folder. Select ‘Upload File’ as your action event.

Map the folder ID from the previous step and the attachment link from the email parser response. This ensures that every time an email with an attachment is received, the file is automatically uploaded to the correct folder in OneDrive.
