Create email folders based on email subject data

Looking to create and add to Outlook folders based on job #'s that are specified within email subject lines.
Email subject lines contain something like "ABC-##-##-Z##" with different #'s based on different jobs.
For example, if I get an email that contains the following subject: "Following up on your request for ABC-03-24-Z01", I would like that email to be be automatically moved to an "ABC-03-24-Z01" folder. If no "ABC-03-24-Z01" exist, a new folder should be created.

 

Is this something that can be done using rules on Outlook or could it be possible using Power Automate Desktop/cloud?

    Note: this endpoint will create folder under outlook account of currently autenicated user 

     

    for more details on endpoint refer here
