Question about When a Email Arrives (V3)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hello Community,

 

I have a question about the trigger "When a Email Arrives".

 

I set up a flow to turn on once a week on Saturday "when a email arrives" do X. initially I had a straightforward flow however I was seeing hundreds of email when I first turned on the flow ( I could have 6 unread messages and it would send 150 emails).

 

Next I added a list on SharePoint to make sure I am not sending duplicates.  I am using the conversation ID so I should see a significant drop.  Now looking at my SharePoint list, I still see duplicates but also a huge number of emails.

 

Question is:

1.  Does the When a email arrives (V3) try to send a email for anything new since the flow was turned off?

2.  Is there anything that I could do more efficiently or better in my flow:

So I create a variable then go get my SharePoint list. I tend load the list into a array.  The condition then compares the data in the email with what is in the array.  If it doesn't find it, it adds it to the list then send does the task (in this case, sends out a email).

 

Thank you in advance,
