Hello

I have been working on a Flow the past couple of weeks to Search through Email addresses on our orgs office 365 accounts and reporting back with what accounts have how many unread emails and what a preview of 1 of them Looks like. However lately I have run into an issue I cant solve. So far the Flow Recur's at the end of every day. It initializes a variable to count all the unread emails in an Account, Then sends an HTTP Request. This request then searches through a condition, so when it finds an email with an empty Body it does not error out and fail. however that condition Always Turns up False and it does not proceed. The default number of emails Send HTTP request sends is 100 so do all 100 have no Bodys?

Hi @BA-03031900-0,

Can you share the code view of the Send an HTTP request and condition 1 action? Or share a screenshot of the configuration of the flow.

This will help us troubleshoot why the Condition one goes to the False branche.

Happy to help out 😁

Hi @BA-03031900-0,

Can you also share the expression in the Condition 1 action. What did you use on the left side? I see it begins with not()

Just to double check, are you not missing the messages part of the URI? I assume you want to retrieve messages from the inbox mailfolder?

@Expiscornovus Hello I have Recently changed the Extra condition as I though it was Pulling things other then emails. now that im specifying emails it no longer needs the condition that was Not(emptyBody).

The new condition is Receiveddatetime is equal to addhours(utcnow() ,-23)

However That condition is now returning back False. However I know there are 5 emails in the imbox unread as its a test email.

I don't understand what you mean by, "The default number of emails Send HTTP request sends is 100 so do all 100 have no Bodys?" However, I think you are suggesting that when you send the HTTP request you only ever get back 100 results? If so, that is the default number of items returned in a Graph API request. You need to specify it in your request to return more, and depending on how many items there are, you may need to enable paging. You can learn about that at Paging Microsoft Graph data in your app - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn.

I cannot offer guidance on setting up paging, as I have only done it a couple times and it was a little tricky. I would need to refresh my memory on how to do it again. But hopefully this points you in the right direction so you can post a question about configuring and processing paging.
