When a new email arrives in a shared mail box

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36
I have a flow with trigger condition "Then a new email arrives in a shared mail box (V2)", This flow monitors a shared mail box with subject line filter "Ticket" and creates a SharePoint list item. The flow is working fine but it is triggering in unwanted scenarios. So when a new email contains a subject line "Ticket", this triggers the flow and creates a SharePoint list item, but if someone replies to the original email, the flow is getting triggered again and generating a duplicate SharePoint item, i would like to avoid that. 
 
Basically, i would like to have a condition in the flow that checks if Subject line starts with "Re:" flow should not proceed executing further actions. Could someone help me on how to accomplish this please.

    The subject filter in that trigger just looks for specific words. What you want is to add a trigger condition in the settings of that trigger. Use the following: (note: it is case sensitive)
    @startsWith(@{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']},'Re:')
