Email Subject Trigger Condition - Subject Contains Or

Posted on by jibbs

Hi,

My flow trigger is When a new email arrives (V3). I have the following settings for my trigger looking for multiple keywords within the subject line:

The full condition I am using is:

@Or(contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 301'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 302'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 304'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 305'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 401'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 402'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 320'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'Virtual Classroom 330'))

Yet, despite receiving plenty of emails with these strings in the subject, the flow doesnt fire.

An example email subject line from the emails coming in:
'Notice - Bob S is registered for Virtual Classroom 304 Cloud Administration Fundamentals with Order Number: 000038444'

The rest of the flow trigger is set up correctly.

Hi @jibbs

Tried your trigger condition and it works me for same subject line which you mentioned. Just to check does your email has any attachments and your trigger has these fields set up like below?

@Nived_Nambiar thank you for replying. I found the issue to be an incorrect value that I had in the To line. So the conditions I was using was correct, and I appreciate you confirming that as well.
Thank you!
