Creating a flow

Posted on by dclink51

Trying to create a flow when a new email comes in. The email has 2 images embedded. One says "Approve" and the other is "Deny". These images contain URL links to click on (URL varies for each user). Based off of the subject line in the email, I would like to execute a "click" on the appropriate image box to execute the correct URL. Can this be done in Power Automate?

FYI - Additional note: Even through a part of the URL is specific to each user, they always begin the same and end with either "&approvalstatus=approved" or "&approvalstatus=denied". So I'm not sure if this can be captured using a wildcard in the middle to grab the url to be executed or not.

I am not aware of any way to achieve your goal with Power Automate.

Hi @dclink51 ,
You can't perform event handling (click event, drag & drop) in Power Automate.

Thanks,
Murali.

Hi @dclink51

Does the link require authentication? Could you not use the HTTP Action and simply post/get the URL for the appropriate outcome? You can use flow to check the subject (?) and then possibly apply the appropriate outcome to the HTTP post.

I might be making this one up though, but one to explore 😉

Having trouble searching the body of the email for the correct URL using a wildcard "*" for the embedded user id (Tried using the Get HTTP) like the example you provided. If I can grab that I thought maybe I could add a row to an excel file and handle it there with a macro.
