Adding contacts to outlook from mail

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Dear, 

I am trying to automatically add contacts from an email I receive in to my outlook contacts.


I nevertheless keep on failing. 

 

Any ideas?

 

ExpressionEvaluationFailed. The execution of template action 'Op_elk(e)_toepassen_2' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@triggerOutputs()?['body/from']' is of type 'String'. The result must be a valid array.

     Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    I mean you don't have to use Op elk(e) toepassen 2, but Op elk(e) toepassen remains the same.

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    @triggerOutputs()?['body/from'] outputs the email address of the person who sent the email. The data type is a string. You don't need to use it in Apply to each action.
    Since I can't see your screenshot clearly, but if you want to add the sender to your outlook contact you can use it directly in the Create contact (V2) action.

     

    Best regards,

    Dezhi
