Automated Yahoo Mail Attachment Archiving
Every night, WebRun opens Yahoo Mail, finds messages received that day carrying attachments, sorts each file by type into a dated Google Drive folder, renames it with the sender and date so it is findable later, and sends you a short Telegram list of everything saved.
How do I automatically save Yahoo Mail attachments to Google Drive?
WebRun opens Yahoo Mail every night, finds the day's messages carrying attachments, and files each one into a dated Google Drive folder sorted by type. It renames every file with the sender and date so search works later, then sends you a Telegram list of exactly what was saved.
- Every attachment is findable by sender and date
- Invoices and contracts stop living only in an inbox
- Nightly confirmation means you know the archive ran

Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it delete emails after saving the attachment?
No. WebRun never deletes, replies to, or forwards a message. The email stays exactly where it is in Yahoo Mail and only a copy of the attachment is filed in Drive.
How does it avoid saving signature logos?
It skips inline images, tracking pixels, and anything under the minimum file size you set, so the archive holds real documents rather than every email footer graphic.
Can I archive only certain senders?
Yes. Give WebRun a sender list, a subject keyword, or a Yahoo Mail folder, and it archives only attachments matching those rules while ignoring the rest of the inbox.
