Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to get "When a new email arrives (v3)" for o365 to trigger when an email that is already in my inbox is moved to a subfolder? I have not had any luck so far.

If not any suggestions on how best to trigger a flow for previously arrived emails that does not involve flagging them?

Create a SharePoint list with column - Message ID.

From your existing flow, write your message IDs into this column if they do not exist.

Create a scheduled flow to run based on your need. Read the list for Message ID and use Forward an email (V2) action to resend the same email to desired address. This will trigger your existing flow.

Please see if this helps.

Thanks for the response!

The problem is capturing the Message ID. Right now emails all come to an o365 inbox. I'm trying to trigger a flow for select, human selected, emails only. Without some other sort of trigger I'm not sure how to capture the message ID. I can clumsily do this by starting a flow based on flagged emails, but I would prefer to move them to a subfolder or categorize them, or really anything other than flagging them.

Certainly would appreciate any ideas. Thanks!!
