Scheduled Cloud Flow: Get Emails (v3) -> Move Emails (v2) reports success, but no messages move

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 37

I have a Scheduled Cloud Flow that checks for all messages with attachments in a folder called "manual" (in a shared mailbox), using "Get emails (V3)".  Once it finds messages it would copy out PDF attachments (if any), then move (all the originally found messages) to a separate folder "manual-uploaded". 

 

This flow reports success, but nothing happens at all.  I took out the attachment process and simplified it to just Get emails (V3) -> Apply to each -> Move Emails (v2).  However, this also reports success but no email moves.  It looks like no emails are found, even though there are emails with attachments in that folder.

 

All this to say - can someone show me a working example of checking for messages in a folder with Get Emails (v3), then moving those messages with Move Emails (v2)?  I think I'm not chaining the commands correctly.  I was able to make this work totally fine as an Automated Cloud Flow on each message that just arrived, but in reviewing output, I think it's not seeing the messages to act upon.

    First of all you should not have nested apply to each steps. I would recreate that without.

     

    Message Id is unlikely to be an array of objects, so most likely you don't want that inner apply to each.

    It turns out the issue was somehow tied to credentials / switching which shared mailbox I was working with in the Flow, even though the caller has full rights to both shared mailboxes:  I had originally used [testsharedmailbox] in the Flow, and when I changed the mailbox specified in "Get emails (v3)" to [livesharedmailbox] it went through fine, but didn't like it.  I ended up just recreating from scratch.

     

    Side note:  After the "Get emails (v3)" action, the "Apply to each" is injected automatically by Flow on the dashboard as soon as I try adding a "Move email (v2)" as a next step.  It's clever enough to see I'm going from many emails to an action per email.

     

    Long story short:  Avoid changing which shared mailbox you are acting on in the Flow / when in doubt create a new Flow...
