Problem with my outlook flow

(0) Share

Posted on by BC_CAT

Trying to follow the step that this blogger has outlined to be able to move email from my junk folder to my inbox.

However, if there are emails that contain certain words (words to help me filter spam), I want to delete email from my inbox automatically. Here's the blog reference: https://www.robinhobo.com/how-to-apply-outlook-com-rules-on-the-junk-folder-and-how-to-stop-outlook-com-from-moving-emails-to-junk-or-spam-folder/

Followed the blogger's precise steps and here is my setup:

my_flow

When I try and test this flow I am seeing this error

flow-ms

I have reviewed this several times and cannot figure out the problem. Will this flow work if emails already exist in my junk folder?

Thanks if you are taking an interesting in helping me resolve this problem.

Hi!
Can you hover the mouse over the 'Message Id' dynamic content you assigned as input to 'Move email' action block?
Just to doublecheck 'Message Id' is taken from triggerBody() instead of 'Delete email'
Hope this helps

Hi @BC_CAT ,

Could you please share the full screenshot of your flow? Does the email would arrive in the Inbox when the flow trigger? Please make sure that the email would arrive in a folder instead of the Inbox.

Could you please share the error message in the Move email action when the flow run failed?

Best regards,

Alice

Hi @BC_CAT

Can you confirm that the connection you are using to authenticate is an outllook.com domain if you are using the outlook.com connector and a work or school account if using the Outlook Office 365 connector?

In either case, you need to use the respective connector actions only for this to work.

Hope this Helps!

@Vdunne it would be better to post a new thread in future rather than jump on an existing thread with a different problem. What is your condition?
