Should the Microsoft Outlook "attachments" key show true?

[mbowler]

Describe the problem/error/question

I am currently implementing a workflow whereby I would be polling a MS Outllook Inbox and process emails/attachments accordingly. I sent some test emails into this account with attachments, but when I use the MS Outlook → Folder Message or MS Outlook → Get Many Messages nodes, the “hasAttachments” key in the response for each message shows ‘false’.

If I add the Message Attachment node after this it correctly identifies all the attachments.

So are there circumstances where the message does have attachments but does not flag correctly on response?

I could make it work doing it the way I am but having a boolean would make things much easier.

Please share your workflow

HI @mbowler Thanks for the details and sharing your workflow!

Is it the second to last node that isn’t showing attachments for you? I just tried this out on 1.3.1, and was able to see hasAttachments true for a message with an attachment on the Inbox Messages getAll: folderMessage node, and your last node is showing an attachment for me as well

@EmeraldHerald Yes, you are correct in that the 2nd to last node is the one that doesn’t show ‘true’ for attachments (for me).

I’m wondering if there is a configuration within our office365 account that influences this? This is my first time working with Office365 so don’t have the background to know otherwise.

Hi @mbowler There might be, as I can’t seem to get the same behaviour as you I’m always seeing the correct attachment boolean.
