For this demonstration, we'll just append the row to an Excel sheet for now.\n\n### How to use\n* Ensure your Microsoft365 credential points to the correct mailbox. If a shared folder is used, toggle \"shared folder\" option to \"on\" and for the principal ID, use the email address.\n* If you receive lots of other types of messages such as replies and forwards, you may want to implement additional checks to prevent processing invoices twice. The \"remove duplicates\" node can help with this.\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!"},
