I'm currently working on a power platform solution for a customer, and now run into a wall.
The idea (or rather the goal) is that a Flow monitors a shared mailbox and as soon as a mail lands in a subfolder, it starts running. In itself this is not a problem, and I can use the Office 365 Outlook trigger for a shared mailbox. Unfortunately, there are +35 subfolders that need to be monitored. This would mean that I would have to create +35 parent flows which in turn would call a child flow to perform the generic actions. Not really user-friendly and future-proof in case new subfolders should be created.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions for solving this?
Hi @TronLeif
I believe I gave enough info (see BenVdP comment).
If you are ready to pay for consulting please let me know.
Hello,
Can you provide more details about the entire flow that you used here? Did you move from folders to categories for managing/filing the emails and just scan one folder rather than dozens?
I've been trying to design a flow that will do that but power automate doesn't have a trigger for Outlook categories.
Thanks,
Troy

@VictorIvanidze , I got it to work, thanks to your suggestion.
I used the 'Invoke an HTTP request' and fetched all messages which a specific category is applied to.
Using a MS GRAPH request.
@VictorIvanidze , could you give more insight on how to scan multiple subfolders at once?
You can create a scheduled flow and scans all subfolders periodically.
