Get Message-ID when .eml file is stored in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello. I need someone's help. I want to get Message-ID when .eml file is stored in SharePoint. Since the acquired $content was BASE64, the following flow was created.

 

1. Trigger: when the file is created
2. Get file content
3. Decode content with BASE64

 

As a result, the email information was obtained, but it was long and difficult to analyze. Is it possible to get just the Message-ID from here? If you have any ideas, please let me know.

The reason I want to do this is because I want to use a shared workspace for tasks that arise from messages that are shared by multiple people, and I'm thinking of using the message ID as a key to eliminate duplicates.

 

thank you.

    Why did you decide to save messages as eml files?

    Don't you think you can manipulate messages directly in the (shared) mailbox using the GRAPH API?

    Thank you for your advice.
    What I would like to achieve is for the operator to check the incoming mail in his mailbox (Outlook) and create a TODO if work needs to be done. Also, there are multiple operators, and there is a possibility that TODO will be created for the same email. (For the purpose of preventing oversight of emails, multiple people will check them.) Also, I would like to make TODO creation a simple operation.
    To achieve the above, we considered the following steps.

     

    1. Operators check emails and share emails from Outlook to teams if necessary
    2. Determine if there are duplicate emails when posted to teams
    3. Create TODO if there are no duplicates (Add rows to List)

     

    I'm trying to determine if there are duplicate emails by Message-ID.

    In addition, shared mailboxes cannot be used due to company policy.

    >1. Operators check emails and share emails from Outlook to teams if necessary

    Each operator sees an email in their own personal mailbox?

    And how exactly an operator should share an email to teams - using an instant cloud flow?

    →Yes.
    They sees their own personal mailbox.

    →They use "Share to Teams" from Outlook.

    Hi @ramenman99,

    thanks for you info. It's still unclear for me when .eml file is created.
