Is there a way to only limit the information that I input from an email to anything above an email reply line in the body or just their responses?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would you please explain more details about your requirement?

Do you want to get only the reply email (If It is a forward email and contain the previous email content) when an email arrives?

If yes, you could add a special string such as End at the end of the body of the reply in the forward email, and than you could split the body in the flow.

The screenshot of the flow should as below:

And the screenshot of the flow should as below:

Expression in the Compose 2 as below:

first(split(outputs('Compose'),'End'))

The flow would run successfully as below:

Best regards,

Alice

@v-alzhan-msft My apologies for not being more specific.

What I am trying to do it ask a user in an email to reply to an initial email with either the text "Yes" or "No" and then split what was responded to use as a condition on how to proceed. I unfortunately can't use either an approval or a condition because I need to send the initial email from a shared email box.

Hi @jpitt42 ,

Unfortunately, the action"Send an email with options from the shared mailbox" is not supported in microsoft flow currently, or your requirement could be easily achieved.

And You could refer to steps below for the alternative way:

You could create a flow to send the initial email with the "Send an email from the shared mailbox" action.

And you need to create another flow to trigger when a new email arrives in a shared mailbox, check if the body of the email is equal to Yes or No.

Best regards,

Alice

@v-alzhan-msft - thank you so much for your help. What I ended up doing was splitting the HTML body of the message between <div class ="WordSection1"> and the next <div> and then converting html to text.

last(split(first(split(triggerBody()?['body'], '<div>')), '<div class="WordSection1">'))
