What does the Save Attachments activity do in RPA?

The Save Attachments activity in RPA is specifically designed to handle email interactions by extracting attachments from incoming emails and saving them to a designated file path on the system. This capability is vital for automating processes that rely on files sent via email, allowing users to streamline workflows that include document processing, data extraction, or any subsequent analysis of the received data.

In practical terms, using this activity can help automate repetitive tasks, such as collecting invoices, reports, or other important documents directly delivered to an email inbox without requiring manual intervention. By specifying where the attachments should be stored, users can better manage their files, ensuring that important documents are easily accessible for further processing or workflow integration.
