Hi,

I am doing a flow for Outlook 365, but I am a bit lost on how to handle email ID. I would like to do one of the following:

Get the ID of an email that is already in my sent folder. I see online that you can use the "Get Email", set the folder and filters, and get an ID, but the "Get Email" for me just has the ID message parameter, so I can't use it as suggested. ChatGPT tells me to do the same, but again I can't...
Get the ID of an email that I sent in the flow with a "Send Email to All" action. I tried to catch the ID from the "Send Email" output, but the ID is not there.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi @DB-06011105-0

Send an email action output does not have email id of sent email- but there is a way to find it out , see below

1. Use send an email action to send the email , here i have used the highlighted subject

2. Use Initialize variable action to initialize an array like below

Now use a do until loop which runs until the above array variable has elements in it , see below

Inside the do until loop- add the following actions

2.1 - Use get emails action to get list of emails based on subject provided in subject filter, recipient, from as shown below from sent items folder in mailbox

2.2 use set variable to set the variable with values dynamic content which is output of the above action

Do until is used as message sent does not immediately appears in the sent items folder, it may take some times- to account that we have used the loop.

Outside the loop use the compose action to extract the id of email sent as shown below

Thanks & Regards,
