What it does

Lets crews and subcontractors simply email photos to one address and have them filed correctly. The flow reads each message, figures out which project it belongs to, and stores the attachments where the team expects them.

When to use it

Use it when not everyone uses your field app and photos arrive by email — especially from subcontractors or clients. It removes the daily chore of downloading attachments and dragging them into the right folder.

How it works

  1. 1A new email in the shared intake inbox triggers the flow.
  2. 2A logic step matches the project using a code in the subject line, falling back to the sender's known project assignment.
  3. 3Each image attachment is extracted from the message.
  4. 4The images are saved into that project's Dropbox folder, named with the received date.
  5. 5A confirmation reply is sent to the sender summarizing how many photos were filed and to which project, so they know it worked.
