I want to create flow that checks to see if Out of Office is enabled, and to provide a decision from that result.

    Hi Ivan,

    there is a preview action called "Get mail tips for a mailbox".
    If i have understood correctly, you want to check if your mailbox has Autoresponse activated.
    If so, you can check if the "Message"-Property of the "Get mail tips"-Action is empty:

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards
    Stefan

    Thanks, my subsequent searches discopvered a blog here, that described exactly that.

    Adding the below condition is the real 'gem' that allows the process to work:

    1. Add a condition.
    2. Select edit in advanced more and add an expression like: 
      @not(empty(body('Get_mail_tips_for_a_mailbox')?['AutomaticReplies']?['Message']))
    3. The above condition means that the next action will only run if there is an automatic message present.

    Im my case, i am using this function to set my own Out Of Office automatically every fortnight, and if one already exists, to send me an email/push notification to ask whether it should 'overwrite' the existing settings?

     

    Regards,
    Ivan
