Hi everyone,
 
I am new to this, so my apologies if this has been asked and already answered in a previous post.
 
What I aim to do is automate that every weekday morning at 8:30am I want it to check my unread Outlook 365 email from the night before up until 8:30am that morning and send me a Teams message summarizing all the unread emails (sender, recipients, date, time, subject, summary of the email).  I want to be able to select via Teams, which of those emails I wish for it to reply to on my behalf but save the draft in my Drafts folder for me review prior to sending. 
 
I tried doing this with CoPilot Work flows, but it only does automatic replies. 
I tried doing this with CoPilot Studio and Power Automate, but it was quite involved.  I am hoping someone may have already accomplished this and can lead me in the right direction please.
 
Thanks,
Paolo

    Hi Good Day 

    You can build a scheduled flow in Power Automate that runs every morning,then you use Outlook – Get emails (V3) to pull emails from your inbox. You’ll filter it so it only picks up emails from the last 24 hours.

    After that, the flow will go through each email using an Apply to each loop, where it collects details like sender, subject, time, and the email body.

    All the emails are then stored in an array variable, so the data stays structured and easy to handle.

    Once all emails are collected, you pass them to AI Builder actions and ask it to summarize everything into a clean daily digest with key points and action items.

    Finally, you send that summary out either as an email or a Teams message, so you get a single consolidated view of all your emails for the day.


    High  Level Flow 

    1. Schedule the Run
    Trigger: Use Recurrence.
     
    Setting: Set it to run once every 24 hours at your preferred start time.
     
    2. Fetch Recent Emails
    Action: Office 365 Outlook - Get emails (V3).
     
    Filter Query: ReceivedDateTime gt '@{addDays(utcNow(), -1)}'
     
    Top: Limit to 50 to maintain performance.
     
    3. Clean and Process (Inside "Apply to Each")
    Convert: Use Html to text on the email body to remove code.
     
    AI Action: Use AI Builder - Run a prompt.
     
    Prompt: "Summarize the following email in two sentences: [Output of Html to text]"
