In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to import email from either Gmail or Outlook into Microsoft Excel using Power Automate. First, we visit Office.com and sign in with a free account. Next, we set up a new workbook in Microsoft Excel and enter the columns that we want to populate with content from an email. We proceed to Power Automate, where we set up a flow to take the contents of an email and insert them into our workbook table. Finally, we test the flow to ensure that the email successfully imports into the Excel worksheet. By the end, you'll be able to take the contents from an email and fill it into your Excel workbook. The resulting flow will work automatically in the cloud and there's no need to launch Outlook, Gmail, or Excel for this to work.
