    Hi @Anonymous 

    Since 'Retrieve email messages from Outlook' results in a list, the correct syntax to obtain the subject is %RetrievedEmails[0].subject% (0 for the first item in list, 1 for second and so on).

    Other properties: Datatype properties - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs. See Mail messages section.
