As an alternative, this could also be done with the help of an Action that can be used elsewhere too. I created a new Action, called it "Get Records Count"

Have defined a single input:

Next I have added a Script step that also has an input that looks the same as the Action input:

The code is pretty str8 fwd:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
  if (inputs.records && inputs.records.isValidRecord)
    outputs.count = inputs.records.getRowCount();
  else
    outputs.count = 0;
})(inputs, outputs);

And - of course - as visible in the picture, the Script Step also has an output, I named it count.

Finally the Action itself also has an output, again named the same as the Script step output:

And I have configured the Action to use the Script step's output as the Action's output value:

Once this is done and activated, I can use it as below:

Of course this will result in the Count data pill that I can use to check whether any attachments have been received:

Or you can use the output of the Look up Email Attachments action, as input to another Look up records action (on sys attachment table), to get the count.

Hi,

is it Correct format ?

Hi Olan,

i have added "Look up email attachment" just for to check attachments, there are 4-attachments was there.

Added "Look up Records" record and taken "sys_attachment" table

still it is returning "0" only.

Hi,

I am able to see the Count as output from Lookup records

You should use Output from Lookup Email Attachments i.e. Step 2

If you are on Paris then also it should be available
