How to run a macro automatically on a specific outlook 2016 folder

Hello Chandoo ninjas :)
I have a macro that when I run it saves any xls attachments from emails within a specific outlook folder only to a folder on my pc. This outlook folder has mail that is moved there by a rule from the inbox. All is working very well! However I would like to have this macro run automatically. I have done some google research and to be totally honest most of the pages I found I didn't really understand the recommendations o_O I did not write the original macro (I don't have the knowhow to do that) so I will need very clear step by step instructions please :DD. I obtained the macro from Ron de Bruin's excellent page https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/saveatt.htm and just amended the folder names as required.
Any help will be gratefully received!
Thank you all :)
 
No reply after 2 weeks so I'm guessing maybe this is not possible? Can anyone comment if that is the case please?
 
Hello
I have no big idea on what you're after exactly but I have a sample workbook that enables you to download attachments to your pc hard
Have a look .. May be a good start for you

Thank you for your reply Yasser :) It seems this is another macro example that I could use. I do have a macro already that goes to a specific outlook folder and when I run it the macro saves all the email attachments to a specified folder on my hard drive. This macro is working well. I have placed an button on the ribbon within outlook and assigned the macro to that button. I then need to press the button for the macro to run. I was wondering if it was possible for the macro to run automatically when the outlook folder receives new mail with the attachments? I can of course continue to just push the button on the ribbon to get the macro to run :) I appreciate your assistance thank you!
 
You're welcome ..
But I don't think it is a big issue to click once on the button ..
Generally be patient and you will find the answer from other experts here as I have no good experience with outlook
