Filter get emails action based on time

Posted on by 159 Season of Giving Solutions 2025

Hi,

 

I was trying to research of a way to filter emails from Get Emails action based on time. My flow runs every hour and i want to only get those that was received an hour ago.

One information that i found is just download a number of emails, loop at the information and create a condition to filter based on received date. I was hoping maybe a better way using the search query to remove the looping process.

    Hi there, 

     

    Yes, try this out:

     

    received>=@{addHours(utcNow(),-1,'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss')}

     

    (If the email was received in a time that is greater than one hour before the current time, select it.)
