    Hi @eduran15 

     

    Please share your flow, we don't know where you mean you put the distribution list.

     

    Show us where it fails and what you need so we can help you, without us writing it all for you.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You

    A distribution group, or distribution list, is a collection of two or more people that appears in your organization's address book. When an email message is sent to a distribution group, it goes to all members of the group. An Office 365 administrator can create and manage distribution groups for an organization.

     

    This is my Flow, attachment,  basically, when an email arrives for example info@asad.com.ve posts a message in a chat or channel in teams that creates a task in a planner, so the problem is that I need that runs in the email info@asad.com.ve that is a distribution list group,

    So now the problem is that when I run it with the configured email, the flow does not run, because I assume it is another email account.

    I only need is for the flow to be executed with the email Info@asad.com.ve, for example, which is a distribution list group mentioned above... that would be all, thanks in advance
