Posted on by RyanGaoSing

Is there a possibility for power automate to send an email out if a mailbox did not receive a daily email by a certain time?

I can set up a reoccurrence to run to get email but what conditions or filters would be needed to send an email when I did not get an email?

If the email has a particular title or subject you could create a recurrence flow to run daily. Then get the emails that arrived that day and filter the result looking for the subject. If the length of the filtered array is 0 then the email didn't arrive and you can send the email.

Thanks for the response. Would I filter the subject with a filter array? and how would I set it to search for emails from that day only??

You would need to filter it based on both the subject and Date. Anything where the date/time of receipt is greater than now-24 hours.

The length function is used to check how many items are in the array after you filter it. So you need to take the output from the filter array and pass that as the parameter value inside length()

Thanks for the assistance so far.
I'm not certain what I am missing here.
My logic goes as follows:
- Reoccurs every work week at 9 AM
- Get email
- Filter email for subject that has hello
- Apply to each outcome if body of what is filter returns length = 0 then:
Yes: Send an email named I did not get email
No: Received (because I should have gotten an email)

It was running successfully but I did not receive any emails for some reason.

I suspect the issue is with your filter. You are using Subject equals "hello". That will only match if that is the exact subject. What you want is Subject "Contains" hello.
