Send notification if email does not arrive before a certain time

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We want to be notified when a certain email does not arrive before a defined time.

Basically the system is running late and we need to logon to check why the system is running late.

 

Any advise how to design this flow? Using the Office Outlook 365 I can only choose an event when a email arrives and I want one when a email does not arrive before a certain time.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Dutchy,

     

    As you mentioned, currently we don’t have a trigger likes “When a certain email doesn’t arrive before a defined time”.
    It seems that we also don’t have a way to configure such a trigger by using Workflow Definition Language, please see this documentation for more details about Workflow Definition Language:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-workflow-definition-language

     

    Please consider to submit an idea at Flow Ideas Forum about this trigger, hope PGs will take it into consideration in the future releases:

    If you are familiar with Custom API, maybe you could try to register a Custom API in your flow. Please check these documentations for a reference:

    Best regards,
