@ilona12345 The issue with your flow is the logic here. You should only have two Apply To Each actions.
- One to loop through each email returned
- One to loop through each attachment
You currently have three for each (aka Apply to Each loops). I'm going to assume it's because Power Automate has automatically added one of those loops for you.
Return Email Count
I would recommend adding a Compose action to output the number of Emails returned. This way you can stop your flow from continuing to run if no email are returned from the Get Emails (V3) Action.
Insert a Compose action. Add an Expression. Use the length() function.
Select the Dynamic content tab and insert the value dynamic content from the Get Emails (V3) action into the length() function.
Run a test. Review the outputs.
Condition Check
Add a Condition action to your flow. If emails have returned (aka there is number stored in the Compose action—that is not equal to 0), add the rest of your actions to the Yes branch. If not, do nothing.
Since you are resending a follow up email... have you considered using the Reply to email (V3) action instead?
