This automation scenario allows you to connect Email and OneNote
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Email and OneNote can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Email
Send IFTTT an email at [email protected] with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
Then this action happens in OneNote
This Action will create a new page in the specified section of the specified notebook.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Create a OneNote page by Email.
Part I

Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Email to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Email account, using Email credentials.
Connect OneNote to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your OneNote account, using OneNote credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Email
Choose the following trigger: Send IFTTT an email tagged (Send IFTTT an email at [email protected] with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.).
Then set up an Action for OneNote
Choose this action: Create a page (This Action will create a new page in the specified section of the specified notebook.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Email and OneNote.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Create a OneNote page by Email!

OneNote is a versatile, multi-user note-taking app that allows you to capture and organize all your ideas, images, recordings, and anything else you want to remember. With easy navigation and search functionality, it helps keep your notes organized and accessible wherever you go. Plus, its cloud-based storage and Microsoft 365 integration make collaboration a breeze.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
