Posted on by tomcolgan

I built a flow which is when a user fills out and submits a form then it goes for approval and is then submitte to a list in sharepoint.

Trying to build in a new condition where it checks if the approver has an automatic reply on.

I stripped out all of my work and brought it back to a basic level to test this new functionality.

Spent over 5 hours and nothing works for me, i followed previous threads of other people having this problem but nothing i try works.

Can you help me please

Here is the extremely basic flow im working with

No matter what i do it keeps returning false

Here is when out of office is on, still false

When a new forms response has been submitted you need to get the response details:

Then you need to check if an Out of Office message has been set, by checking if message property exists:

outputs('Get_mail_tips_for_a_mailbox_(V2)')?['body/value']?[0]?['automaticReplies/message']

Hope this helps.

Please share your flow including the expressions used in the condition.

Can you also please paste the runtime output of the data you are getting from the Get Mail Tips action.

Here is a sample runtime output.

[ { "mailboxFull": false, "externalMemberCount": 0, "totalMemberCount": 1, "deliveryRestricted": false, "isModerated": false, "maxMessageSize": 37748736, "emailAddress": { "name": "", "address": "user@company.com" }, "automaticReplies": { "message": "I am away", "scheduledStartTime": { "dateTime": "2022-10-21T15:30:00.0000000", "timeZone": "UTC" }, "scheduledEndTime": { "dateTime": "2022-10-26T16:00:00.0000000", "timeZone": "UTC" } } } ]

[ { "mailboxFull": false, "externalMemberCount": 0, "totalMemberCount": 1, "deliveryRestricted": false, "isModerated": false, "maxMessageSize": 37748736, "emailAddress": { "name": "", "address": "user2@company.com" }, "automaticReplies": { "message": "<div>I am on annual leave until the 25th October 2022. Best wishes X</div>" } } ]

Hi @tomcolgan ,

I can't see an issue with the condition that checks to see if a message is set.

Please create a new flow with the following two actions, test then paste the runtime output as shown below:

outputs('Get_mail_tips_for_a_mailbox_(V2)')?['body/value']?[0]?['automaticReplies/message']

Runtime output with OOO set:

Runtime output with OOO NOT set:

Please double check the that the expressions have been entered correctly
