Reply to the most recent email in an email thread

Posted on by 2
As part of a new project management process, I am trying to automate a weekly email to ask project leads for an update. I currently have the flow set up like this:
It uses the "Get email" action to pull the first email I send (we're kicking off this project, here's how it's going to work, etc.) and then replies to it each week at a specified time. This currently works fine, but not exactly how I want it to.
 
The reply stays in the same conversation in the Outlook UI which is enough for when the project is live. However, for after the project is done, I would love all the weekly updates to be in a single email thread that could be exported as a document so we have a source of truth of what happened. For that to happen, I feel like the reply needs to be to the most recent email in the email thread, rather than the first email in the thread but I can't figure out how to get the ID of that message.
 
Let me know!

    Hi,
     
    Create a tracking table. Track the Email/Conversations and every time you do Get Email write the ID, along with time stamps, you can even store the Order
     
    Then when you reply, you can easily grab the latest ID for that conversation from your table. or list in sharepoint
     
    Would that work?

    Hi @FLMike, it sounds like it would, but I'm not sure how to do that! I'm very new to Power Automate
