Mark email as unread after moving it to another folder in a shared email account

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
I would like an email to be marked as unread when it is moved from the inbox of a shared mailbox to another folder (no-reply) in the same shared mailbox.  I am getting an error with my flow.
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the error:  I don't think it's grabbing the right email.

    Can you provide insights as to why you have a Get Emails (V3) action in your flow? Unless I've missed something in your requirements, you want this flow to mark an email as 
    unread when it is moved from the inbox of a shared mailbox to another folder (no-reply) in the same shared mailbox
     
    If that's the case your flow should only have a trigger and a single action.
     
    Trigger: When a New Email Arrives in a Shared Mailbox
    Action: Mark as read or unread (V3)
     
    You need to ensure that in the original mailbox address field of the Mark as read or Unread (V3) action, you specify the Shared Email address.
     
     
    Hope this helps!

    I solved this by adding the originating mailbox in the Mark as read or unread box.  Didn't think I needed to do it because of the previous flow, but evidently I have to add it again.
