I have a power automate flow shown below.

The area circled in red under Move Email (V2) is where I need to hardcode a specific subfolder of my Inbox.

I have over 1000 subfolders to my Inbox so the folder icon won't display it.

I do however have the folder ID I've obtained via the Graph API as shown below.

How can I enter this information into the "folder" field above, so that the email is moved to the folder with the ID shown below?

If I enter the ID and run the flow as shown below.....

I get the following error...

Can someone provide me with a step by step and screen shots of exactly how I need to format/enter the ID in the Folder field so the message actually gets moved into the folder?

I've already looked at https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=c7a0b4db-4e50-49ca-be7c-4dde3c1f53a5

and https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=18702b3c-9b4d-4805-88b8-fa9908afe3a5

but I don't understand it, and I need to go simpler.

Therefore, if I can understand exactly what needs to go in to the field to hardcode it, once I understand that, I can work up from there.

Try formatting it like "Id::AMMkAD..." etc.

e.g.

The format of the ID for the Outlook Folders in "Move email" is a bit confusing. To see how to format it properly if you want to do it dynamically, just select any folder temporarily and go to code view.

They basically all start with "Id::"

You could also consider organizing your folders more. If you can create a heirarchy where you divide them up and put child folders in parent folders you migth be able to get it to where you can see them all in the folder selector.
