Outlook Invalid Connection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I am trying to trigger a flow using an email message that I get assigning a task.  The message comes to a group email box and normally has the Subject: For Action: Programme Board

So I try to get started using Outlook as a trigger, but it tells me I have an "invalid connection".  I am logged into Outlook 365 (which is synced to my Outlook 2016).  I am not sure where to go from here, so thought I would try this community.

 

Thanks

    @BionicMan: My work had moved me away from working on that problem, so I stopped searching for a solution, but I think we are wandering back towards using this again.  Leadership / Management changes dictate changes in priorities and we just chase the vision 🙂  

    If I figure it out, I will post the solution here and tag you.

     

    Good Luck.

    I'm having a similar problem.  I'm trying to use a new Outlook Task as a trigger to create a Planner Task.  But I can't find a Outlook 365 Task trigger.  And the Outlook Task trigger asks me to log into my account.  But it won't accept my work account.  I saw other posts here saying that you have to use the Outlook 365 for a work account.  But I can't find a way to use an Outlook Task trigger through Outlook 365.
