Email Trigger

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm trying to get a Flow to work based on email arriving into the inbox of an email account. I've tried both Gmail and Outlook.com but neither seem to trigger my simple Flow process. I did succesfully create a Flow that works with Box.com so I have gotten something to work.

Any ideas?

Here's a sample working Flow (when new email arrives -> send me a push notifiction with email body):

After creating Flow, you can check it's status (if Run failed/succedded) by clicking info icon on Flows page:

Here's also Documentation on how to create a Flow with email trigger: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/guided-learning/learning-get-notifications/

If you are still having issues with your Flow, please attach a screenshot of your Flow and we will look into that.

Well, it is embarrassing simple first step. This Flow is checking the Inbox of Outlook.com

Do you see any successfull or failing runs in the Flow Run history?
After creating a Flow, did you receive any emails so that the trigger can be activated?

Also make sure that the Flow is enabled on My Flows page (it should be by default after you create it).

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you need any further assistance regarding add the "When a new email arrives" trigger?

This trigger would fire the flow only when a new email arrives within the "folder" specified under this trigger, this is the same for the "To" and "From" part.

In addition, we could troubleshoot the flow by checking its running details:

If you need any further assistance, please post back.

Regards
