Get emails (V3) search for exact subject

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

 

I want to do something very simple:

- Search for an email which is older than 90 days

- and has a specific subject.

 

In the Search Query i fill in:

 

 

 

received <= @{addDays(utcNow(), -90, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')} AND subject:('[random text] More specific text')

 

 

 

And, as a precaution, i also fill in the Subject Filter: [random text] Mode specific text

 

The above subject search does NOT look for an exact match... It finds emails that look like this and sometimes only the [random text] part matches.

 

So, how can I change the Search Query so it does look for the exact match for the subject?

And also not finds "RE: [random text] More specific text"

    Hi @JBtje 

     

    You can try setting the subject filter parameter in 'Get Emails' action for filtering purposes:

    Click on 'Show advanced options':

    Next, add the required filter:

    If this helps, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Subject Filter is only applied to the 1-25 emails which are found using the Seach Query.

     

    If you have more than 25 emails, and the 26th contains the same subject as Subject Filter, it will never be found.

    Use a GRAPH request instead of "Get Emails" action.
