I am building a simple flow: when shared mailbox receive an email, trigger a reply to the sender.

As of May 6, 2020, shared mailbox support was added for certain operations with an optional 'Mailbox address' parameter, allowing you to specify a shared mailbox address for your operation to access. If you were using this operation prior to May 6, 2020, you will need to explicitly update your operations to specify the shared mailbox address. Please follow the Office 365 documentation for more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365/#shared-mailbox-support

 

I don't quite understand this. What did I do wrong?

    Click "Show advanced options" and populate the "Mailbox address" field.

    @VictorIvanidze are you referring to "original mailbox address" itself? Because I cannot find any "Mailbox address" field in advanced settings.

    Could you show your flow? Where exactly you met this error?

    Can you open this shared mailbox from your Outlook being logged in as the same user as who runs a flow?

  • SumithSK Profile Picture

    Yes, I'm able to open the shared mailbox from Outlook.

    Then I have no more idea - your trigger should work normally.

    I have the same error replying to emails with a shared mailbox.

    How was it solved?
