Issue with Flow containing Email Arrives in Share mailbox (V2) trigger - Sends already read emails

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by u4jaanus

Hi,

Having an issue; whenever I turned on this Flow, it starts by sending historical emails not very old but recent which were already read.

Not sure what is causing this, is this a bug in this flow?

 

It is using a Shared Mailbox which is delegated to few people. I am wondering why it is doing so as it is causing more of a trouble than convenience

 

regards.

    Hi @u4jaanus ,

     

    That's not a bug because you are using a polling trigger.

    During the period of the flow which was turned off , if there were new emails in the shared mailbox, the flow will not be triggered. However, If you turned on this flow, mails arriving at the shared mailbox during that time will trigger the flow at this time.
