    Hi,

    I don't think it will be possible to read excel attachment without using any third part DLL which requires ILMERGE.

    Yes, you can register step and invoke Azure function using Plugin registration tool to read excel attachment and create record in Dynamics from azure function.

    You can register you webhook to invoke azure function on Email Post Create operaton.
