Hi @Anonymous

Another logic you can give a try is

1) Get all emails from Sent Items folder in outlook
2) Loop through all mails from sent items and check whether the mail with that subject starting with Re exists in Inbox, if yes it means mail has received a reply , else it has not received a reply.

See below flow design for better references:

expression: concat('Re:',items('Apply_to_each')?['subject'])

expression: length(outputs('Get_emails_(V3)_2')?['body/value'])

Note: Replied mail has Re at start of subject line

Thanks, Nived N.

I really wanted to also know those that haven't been responded to within 5 days. Should I just put a delay for 5 days after get email v3 (2)?

I really appreciate it.

Regards, Pol

Hi @Anonymous

As highlighting in the screenshot which i have designed

add a if condition checking whether the mail has been sent 5 days ago (using the date difference from today's date with sent date) and if yes , then send a notification to the person

That's how you can do it 🙂

Hi Nived,

Good day!

I have been testing this flow on one of my project, however I am encountering an error:

May i seek your assistance on what might have been wrong on the flow?

Thank you,
