Adding contacts to outlook from mail

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

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 ,

     

    @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

     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,
