Use timestamp from emails to post time in teams chat

Posted on 13 Nov 2023 16:25:47 by 27

I would like to create a flow to post a message into a teams chat after reviewing received timestamps from two daily emails.

I receive daily emails when batch jobs start/finish - example:

Email 1 received at 1:00AM - XYZ Batch started

Email 2 received at 2:30am - XYZ Batch completed

Based on email two, I would like the flow to post a message into a teams chat that says

"XYZ Batch runtime - 90 Minutes'

I feel like I should be able to manage this, but have been struggling to get started. Right now I have flows posting messages into the teams chat when each batch starts and stops.

    You have to ether store the start time somewhere to calculate the time difference or you search for the first email after the second email arrived.
