I need your help! I've been stuck on this project for a long time!

Hi All,

 

I am creating a flow that works when a new email arrives in our shared mailbox. I maintain a list of keywords in an online Excel file. Whenever a new email arrives in the inbox, I want the flow to search for the keyword in the online excel files. An email should be sent if the word matches the email and the excel. The flow I created reads the first line in the online excel but not the other lines. Please assist me in how to make this work.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    I did check the table query everything looks correct. But the flow returns the same result it's not reading the next row in the excel sheet. Do we have any other work around ?

    I believe issue will be in the excel table itself not all rows are within the table range so can you make sure you reselect all rows in your excel and re-format as a table and retry!

    Yes, it returns results only for the first row in excel. It is not searching other keywords on the excel sheet. I want the flow to run and check all the results.

    Hi @Mira_Ghaly

    Thanks for your reply 

     

    Here is my Flow, I added a condition to match the body of the message with the keyword. The flow works, but it searches only the first line on excel. 

     

    Thanks for your help !
