How change/edit the subject of an email in a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello!

 

I'm trying to edit the subject of an email to add a ticket number, but I can't find any solution to edit an email's subject without forwarding it.

 

The flow is activated by the email's arrival in a specific folder of a MB (using "When an new email arrives in a shared MB (V2)" ).

A entry is created in a sharePoint List, from which I recover the ID.

However, how to edit the email's subject before moving it to another "completed" folder?

 

The only thing I found searching online was this.

However the solution only mentions the code to concatenate the ID in a string, not the way to actually edit the email subject.

As a search returned nothing, I'm afraid it's one of these things which are not possible. Is it?

    Can you provide an example of what you want to do?  I don't quite understand (it's probably me...).

    Hey ScottShearer,

     

    Thank you for your quick answer.

     

    Yes of course, things always seems clearer when writing them down that when actually reading them. Here is my current flow:

    What I want now is to add the "tracking_ID" variable in front of the "Subject" of the email.
    However I couldn't find a way to modify the email, be it body, subject, ...

    If your goal is to actually edit the subject of the email that triggered the Flow, I don't believe that you can accomplish your goal with Power Automate.

    Hi @L_trainee,

     

    you can do that only using a GRAPH request.
