Sort emails retrieved with the "Retrieve email messages from Outlook" action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ricardopq97 4

Hello community!

 

Is there a way to sort the emails retrieved with the "Retrieve email messages from Outlook" action, but based on the Date or any other variable property?

 

Currently, I have the next flow:

ricardopq97_0-1712604083245.png

 

It opens Outlook and retrieves the emails in the 2nd action.

If I open the RetrievedEmails variable, I get the following:

ricardopq97_1-1712604183964.png

 

However, I need to have them organized in a descending order, based on the .Date property.

2024-04-08_13-16-11.png

 

With that being said, the RetrievedEmails[0] value would always be the last received email.

Is there a way to do that?

 

Thanks for the help.

Regards.

    Pls use "Sort list" action to sort emails by date in descending order:
