Condition Containing Wildcard String

Posted on by itsmeqp

I have a Flow that auto-replies when a new email is received, excluding certain conditions. The condition is if the sender (From) contains the following, do not send a reply:

donotreply
do-not-reply
noreply
no-reply
etc

I have a Condition using OR where it checks if it contains each of those variations, I am wondering if there is a way to simplify it to something like "*no*reply"

The mailbox the Flow is applied to gets emails from 100s of vendors so I'm trying to simplify the condition and not update it as new variations appear.

@itsmeqp

No expressions available for wildcard matching

However you could use the contains expression function to check if the from contains both "no" and "reply" - but this is not a wild card match

You could use an array variable containing all the bad addresses to check - makes it easier in the future if you want to add more values to the list!
The following is a rough and ready checker. (Note - I could combine a lot of this into fewer steps - but it is a little easier to follow!

Hi @itsmeqp,
you can create a distribution list with no members "noreply@yourdomain.com" and send as this DL.
Then you do not need to analyze the addresses of ingoing messages at all, as any message delivered to "noreply@yourdomain.com" will just disappear.

I understood you want to prevent reply-to reply scenario. My recommendation is: reply to any message as "noreply@yourdomain.com".
