Stop processing email received out of runtime

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have created two flow to process received email during my working hours

And created 2 extra flows to turn on them during my working time and turn off them while I am out of office.

 

However, when the 2 email processing flow was turned on, it was processing the previously received emails,

which is not a desired result.

 

Is their any ways to prevent this from happening?

    @Anonymous  yes when flow is  turned off and then turned on, the flow will trigger for the previous triggers which happened when flow was turned off. To prevent this you can add trigger condition to make the Flow trigger only work when the received time of email is greater than 1 day ago

    @greater(triggerOutputs()?['body/receivedDateTime'],addDays(utcNow(),-1,'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ'))

    Yes. Modify you flow to ignore all emails received earlier.
