email with options and shared mailbox

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a flow that sends an email with options but it send it as me. I was looking for a workaround to have it send from a shared mailbox. I found this https://techdailychronicle.com/power-automate-how-to-send-an-email-with-options-from-a-shared-mailbox/
I followed all the steps. My problem is that it now waits for the "send with options" email to be processed (button pressed) before it will continue on to the other step. Does anyone know how to by-pass the first email and forward the email right away? 
I really don't want all the flows I create for the company to come from me. 🙂 
Thank you in advance.

    Could you show your flow?

    Do you need to see the details inside each step?

    Here is the breakdown of each step.

    You have to rewrite your flow - currently there is 2 triggers, that's not allowed.

    So do I create 2 different flows? 
    How do I change the second trigger in the flow?

    A flow has to have only one trigger.

    A cite from your link:

     

    "The solution consists of sending out the mail with options like you usually do and re-sending the email from a shared mailbox.

    So for this to work, you need to configure two flows:

    1. The flow that sends out the initial mail with options from the flow owner (or the one who’s connection is used)
    2. The flow that re-sends the mail with options from the shared mailbox"

    Thank you I'll give that a try.

    I tried to split my flow into 2 flows. 
    Now my variables are not recognized in the second flow. 
    DO I have to recreate the initialize variable steps for the second flow?
