When a new email arrives (v3) limit question

Hello

 

I have created and used a new flow to auto save certain emails to a SharePoint folder.  It works a treat.

 

This works when I move an email from my inbox to a folder in my outlook.

 

From testing it seems to only trigger on email received in the last 7 days.  (I have tried to use if for older emails).  It the 7 days right?

    Hello.

     

    Sorry for the typo in my original post.

     

    I tested on several emails.  The only difference in the way I tested is the received date of the email.

     

    For the purpose I need the flow, if I can only get it to trigger on recent emails, then that is not a problem.

     

    I just wondered if this was a thing with the trigger step.

     

    Thank you for replying.

     

    Regards

     

    Stuart

    @Stuart74 

    Have you checked flow run history to make sure it is not triggering?

    I do not believe there is such limitation on the trigger.
