Check for OOO with Mail Tips is not working

Posted on 28 Mar 2025 17:10:41 by CharlesBrewer 607
So I have a flow that needs to check if a user is OOO to determine which path it takes. I looked this up and several posts/sites tell me to do it like this : 
 
 
This is my Condition : 
The function is : body('Get_mail_tips_for_a_mailbox_(V2)')['value'][0]['automaticReplies']?['message'] and of course null is just null.
I did two tests, one on a person who I know is OOO (and has a message setup) and one who is not, but they both registered as being OOO.
 
I double checked the outputs for the person who is not OOO and automaticreplies is blank : 
 
Did I miss something? Thanks.

    I fixed it, I changed the Condition/expression : 
     
    Fx : empty(outputs('Get_mail_tips_for_a_mailbox_(V2)')?['body/value'][0]['automaticReplies']['message'])

    Switched to classic and still the same problem. Here is the output (email removed) : 
     
    [
  {
    "mailboxFull": false,
    "externalMemberCount": 0,
    "totalMemberCount": 1,
    "deliveryRestricted": false,
    "isModerated": false,
    "maxMessageSize": 37748736,
    "emailAddress": {
      "name": "",
      "address": "removed@removed.com"
    },
    "automaticReplies": {
      "message": ""
    }
  }
]

    I've reproduced your flow and it works as it should.  Try to use the classic editor.
    If it will not work, please provide the output of "Get mail tips..." action when OOF is on.

    If the value is null, that means automatic replies are not enabled. I do this differently with a call to the Graph AI to see if they have automatic replies set up:
     
    You can find the Uri, body, scheme and expression I used in the attached file. I find the Graph API call is more reliable than the Power Automate action.
