Send 3 emails, flow ran, but only pulled the first email.

EDIT: When I re-create this flow using a non-shared mailbox, all flows work perfectly and it captures every email. It seems to be something with the shared mailbox aspect of things.

Hi team,
Thanks to this community, I have my first successful Automated flow.

My problem is, I sent three emails to my shared mailbox, but it is only capturing the first email on my excel. The purpose of this flow is to get every email with a specific subject, and extract the data. 

I also noticed that whenever I change the Interval, it goes back automatically to 5 minutes.

Lastly, it is skipping the other two.

Anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance.

    Hi @soy ,

     

    This is by design. This flow checks whether there are new emails every five minutes.  If there are no new emails, it will show 'skipped'.

     

    Please check the trigger settings.

    If 'split on' is off, please turn on it.

    When you turn off it and receive multiple emails in a short period of time, the flow will only trigger once.

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond to me.

     

    I checked my setting and Spit on is off. 

    When I send for example, 5 emails, it will only record the first email, and the 4 go to skipped.

    Hi @soy ,

     

    Please turn on it and check again.  I believe it will work.

    When I turn it on, and save it, it turns it self off after the saving is finished.

    Hi @soy ,

     

    Please try to use classic designer.

    Let me try! Should I leave the array blank?

    Hi @soy ,

     

    Please try this in classic mode.

    When adding an array, I get an error:

     

    Request to Azure Resource Manager failed with error: '{"error":{"code":"InvalidTemplate","message":"The template language expression evaluation failed: 'The execution of template trigger 'When_a_new_email_arrives_in_a_shared_mailbox_(V2)' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'splitOn' expression '@triggerBody()?['body/value']' is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array.'."}}'.

    Hi @soy ,

     

    It worked for me.

    Please try creating a flow from scratch in classic designer.

    I'll try re-creating my flow, but I did turn it on and it is still skipping some! I really appreciate you trying to help and I might ask for your help tomorrow when I try again 🙂
