Hi All,

I am stuck here, I get in outlook task as subject the order no in such format

Subject: KR0001,Agadmator ltd

can you tell me what kind of formula and steps to use in flow so it get only the subject value before delimiter "," (comma) and save that value in SharePoint list column.

Example

when a task is created, flow gets the subject, which is = KR009,Agadmator ltd

and then split the subject get the order no = KR009 which is before comma (",") and save the value in sharepoint list order column.

any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Anonymous

Outlook tasks are now integrated into Microsoft To-Do, so you should use that trigger. Have a look at this sample:

The expression:

first(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/title'],','))

gets the first element after splitting the title of the task by ','.

Hope it helps!
