Flow that checks unread e-mail count

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello Community,

 

Im new to Flows and trying to build my first flow. We have some automation for shared mailboxes and I wanted to use flow as "checkup tool" to identify, when our original automation fails. I would like to achieve a notification, when shared mailbox has 100+ unread e-mails.

 

I was able to create a flow, which checks for unread e-mail count and sends notification, but there is an issue. I use Get Emails (v3) flow and it has "Top" limit of 25 e-mails.

 

Is there a way, how I could read total unread e-mail count in shared mailbox and trigger, if count is more than 100?

    Can you tell me what action you are using to retrieve emails from a shared mailbox?  I don't believe that this is supported for a shared mailbox unless you make an API call which requires a premium license.

    I am using regular "Reg emails (V3)" from "Office 365 Outlook"

    If you create seperate connection with Shared Mailbox credentials, you can retrieve info.
