How to get notification if our email failed to send?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 80

The case here is I have a flow that works by sending multiple different emails to certain people, but my concern is what if their email has been revoked by their company and is no longer exist. Doesn't that mean I sent the email to empty space? My objective is I want to know whether I sent the emails to empty space or not, I hope someone can help me to find the solution for this problem. Thank you

    Hi @Deltodeus ,

     

    This would be the same if someone was emailing from their Outlook directly.  The user account you are emailing from (in the connection) will receive a bounce back email saying the mailbox no longer exists etc.

    Hi @Deltodeus 

     

    Check what happens when you manually send the email to them? Do you get a "delivery failure" autoreply email to your inbox.

    Refer the subject of the delivery failure email and see if there is a pattern between that email and the original email.

     

    Just an example:

    Original Email:

    Subj: This is my original email

     

    Failed Email:

    Subj: Undeliverable: This is my original email

     

    If this is the case save the original email subject (maybe in online spreadsheet or sharepoint) and use it for comparison if your flow has to wait for several days for the delivery failure emails.

     

    You will need to create a proper process to also handle things like two original emails with accurately the same subject.
