You can extract attachments from an Email Trigger — the method depends on what tool you’re using:

• Webhook services (Mailgun/SendGrid/Postmark)  
Attachments come as files (multipart) or base64 in JSON → parse the request or decode and save.

• Zapier  
Email/Gmail trigger exposes “Attachments” → map that field to “Upload/Create File” in next step.

• Make (Integromat)  
Trigger returns an Attachments array → map each attachment to a storage/module.

• Power Automate  
Trigger → `Attachments` → loop `Apply to each` → `Create file` with the attachment content.

• Gmail API / Apps Script  
Get message → read attachments array/base64 → save/write to storage.
