Watch mail but dont fetch attachments

I’ve noticed that when I Watch email with Email module it basically downloads the whole email.
It means that it uses a lot of data for attachments, even though I dont need them in my flow.
Can I somehow not fetch the attachments?

Welcome to the Make community!

This is part of the module, there are no options to prevent downloading of attachments.

That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under App improvement ideas.

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

Hi @MikolajS ,
As a workaround you could try forwarding the emails to a Make Mailhook, just don’t include attachments when forwarding.

I don’t think it is possible to create a Gmail filter that forwards emails while excluding attachments.

It might be possible to use a Google Apps script though.

Yea, maybe not gmail but I don’t think the service was mentioned here though.
