Hi @Anonymous

If I am understanding correctly, are you saying that you want to update fields in a SharePoint list. Diferent fields get updated depending on the "phrase" in the message title?

"Email 1 Subject/Title" - Update Field 1

"Email 2 Subject/Title" - Update Field 2

"Email 3 Subject/Title" - Update Field 3

... and so on ...

If so, a good starting point for you may be to look at this blog - https://www.alanps1.io/power-platform/flow-try-catch-on-user-list-till-you-get-a-match/

Using the Try, Catch, Finally approach with the "Scope" connector will mean each Try (Scope) can check with a condition, if that fails, it will move on and check the next one and so on.

Here is what you would start out with: (You may want "Get Item" or "Get Items" to suit)

Here would be your first Try

Each Try that comes after would target a diferent subject/title until you've covered them all.

Worth a go?

Hi @AlanPs1,

Thanks for this but this won't suit for my requirement as the no. of combinations would be too many to match for each.

Instead if there's a way to parse the subject line using one or more delimiters, store each section identified as variable to be interested onto respective SP list, it'd be great.

Perhaps I am not able to find the right article as I am pretty sure this functionality would be available.

Regards

Bhaskar
