Update Item working correctly but adding too much information from email

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Chancey 4

I am still very new to Power Automate but I have slowly built successful flows. I am currently working on one that pulls information from an email reply and updates a SharePoint list. It works! It adds the email reply and the body of the initial email. I have searched and I cannot get it to only update with the reply:

I understand that I may need another Compose (2)  syntax substring under the initial Compose but all my attempts have failed. Taking that portion out of the equation and the flow works!! Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. 🙏

    I don't have the answer right now, but some of my dealings with the Google Apps Script stuff have shown me that you want to be looking at finding something around Message Id and Thread Id.

     

    This said, again, that's just hopefully an area for you to look in to.
