building a condition to check email headers for string

Posted on by DB-23070703-0

So building my latest flow, it managed to start an infinite email loop after receiving an email from a mailbox that also seems to have its own autoresponder using but this one using mail rules.

I've hunted through but can't seem to find what I'm looking for, I can't see any obvious build functions for ignoring automatic replies. Therefore is there a way to pull back the email headers so that I can run a condition looking for a certain string or text such as X-MS-Exchange-Generated-Message-Source: Mailbox Rules Agent

I'm hoping that this will then prevent the flow triggering on Out of office messages and automatic mailbox responder rule-generated messages.

Any hints would be really useful! Thanks in advance.

Hi @DB16114 ,

Please try the trigger condition.

A nice blog:

Sorry for the delayed response.

Thanks for your reply, trigger conditions certainly look useful, although I am still struggling to find a condition that reads the email header. Does anyone have any examples or ideas where this has been achieved previously?
