Power App to Manage E-mail and Projects

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 287

I run an e-commerce website and want to build a Power App to go through my inbox and help me create / move e-mails into Project Folders inside of my Outlook.  Currently I am using the Outlook Get Email data connector to retrieve the e-mails in my Outlook inbox and when I select one I can "MOVE" the e-mail to a "test" folder underneath Inbox.  I would like to be able to have Power App be able to Create the folder underneath the Inbox and move the message into that folder based upon a folder name i provide.  So if I get a new project say Martha Vineyard Home Project, I want to type that into a text box and then have my powerapp create the e-mail folder underneath Outlooks Inbox .... say Inbox\Martha Vineyard Home Project.  Once I have the folder I believe I can use my current connector logic to move the e-mail to the folder.  It would be nice if I could also check to see if the folder already existed before I created it.

 

Anyone know if PowerApps can do this?  I don't see any routines in the Office365 connector to help manage/create/delete folders/list folders?

    Hi @astrontelstar :

    The Outlook connector does not provide actions for managing folders. If you need to create/find folders in a canvas app, you must use Graph API to create a custom connector.

    Create mail folders 

    List mail Folders 

    I've made a test for you reference:

    If you don’t know how to create a new custom connector, then I think this video will help you a lot:
