When a new email arrives (V3)

Posted on by 7

Hello

 

Trying to use this trigger. It seems that there is a time definition of what "New" is.

 

I'm actually dragging a mail from my inbox to a different folder (specified in the flow).

 

When used a ' just arrived ' mail - it worked.

When used a mail 10-20 min's old - it didn't.

 

is there a time cap on how much new a mail should be?

    Hi @HavivVazana,

    This triggers is to capture each new email once it arrives, which is by design.

     

    If you want to capture a special email, you could consider extract it based on subject or something else.

    Thank you @v-qiaqi-msft 

     

    Again - it does work, but as i mentioned , not consistently. 

     

    the fact it works with relatively new e-mails and not with 'not-that-new' ones led me to the conclusion that this is where the answer lies.

    I'm having a similar problem i set up a flow to save email attachments that arrive - to test the flow i left emails unread to simulate as if they were new. several weeks passed i tested it and my flow will time out - is there a definition to what is new?!
