Hey there Microsoft Community - currently I have a flow that creates a planner task when an email arrives.

But im noticing that if I respond to the email, my filter array doesn't account for "RE:" or "FW:" when an email is responded to, and creates a second planner task.

At first my filter array was 'equals to' and then i changed it to 'contains' so that it does not create another planner task.

Can someone help me modify my flow to account for RE: and FW: in the subject and prevent a second planner task being created?

Here is my flow:

Count all tasks

length(body('List_Tasks')?['value'])

Count filtered tasks

length(body('Filter_array'))

Hi @SimonB2020

To avoid getting task created for reply & forward emails, you need to swap the operand used with contains operator as shown below. The condition should say "Subject contains Task title":

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

Thanks
