Doubt with Gmail Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

Hi there

 

I'm brand new with Power Automate. I have created this basic flow (my first one) to test the Gmail Connector (I'm the sender and the receiver):

However,  the Send Email(V2) action is taking the Subject of the reply mail and sends another message. In this case up to 2 additional messages. It seems like the condition for the subject is "Contain" instead of a "Equal".

Is it possible to control this behaviour? So far I have not seen the option.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @DB2907,

     

    It is by design. Please check the matching criteria of incoming Gmail message:

    The subject criteria is checks if the subject contains a specified string, for example:

    Filter: criteria.subject='[People with Pets]'

    Matches: All emails with the string [People with Pets] in the subject

    For more information, you could refer to this document about Gmail API:

    https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/filter_settings
