To read and download file attachments from a Microsoft Outlook Email Connector webhook, you can follow these steps:

  1. Parse the JSON response from the webhook and extract the "hydrate" content type. This will typically be a Base64-encoded string.

  2. Decode the Base64-encoded string to retrieve the binary content of the attachment.

  3. Save the binary content to a file with the appropriate file name and extension. The file name and extension can typically be obtained from the JSON response.

If you're working with a webhook or API provided by Microsoft for handling email attachments, there should be proper documentation available on how to decode and download attachments. Here are some general steps you can follow to decode and download attachments from a webhook response:

  1. Check Documentation: Review the documentation or API reference provided by Microsoft for the Outlook Email Connector webhook. It should explain the encoding and decoding methods for handling attachments.

  2. Content-Type Identification: The "hydrate" content type might be a custom identifier, as mentioned earlier. Look for any documentation that describes the mapping of such identifiers to actual content types.

  3. Decode Base64 Content: If the attachment content is Base64 encoded, you will need to decode it first. In many cases, attachments are encoded in Base64 to safely transmit binary data in JSON or text format.

  4. Handle Encrypted Content (If Applicable): If the content is encrypted, you will need the appropriate decryption keys or methods to decrypt it before proceeding with decoding and saving the attachment.

  5. File Identification: Extract information about the file type and extension from the decoded data or attachment metadata provided by the webhook.

  6. Save the Attachment: Once the attachment is decoded and decrypted (if applicable), save it to your desired location or process it according to your application's requirements.

It doesn’t seem the attachment is base64 in this. Did anyone ever figure this out?
