Auto email reply filter

[nhafala]

I created a flow to send email replies. However, I noticed that microsoft flow repeatedly tries to send replies to non repliable addresses. To go around that problem, I added the following condition:

@or(not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'noreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'donotreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'no-reply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'postmaster')))

So if the email address does not contain any of those terms, the flow continues on to the next steps.

The problem is the code works for all included terms except "postmaster" and I can't figure out why.

Hi @nhafala 

Your condition is correct

One caveat with contains is it is case sensitive

So if email is Postmaster then contains will return false since your are comparing with lower case postmaster

Try this if porblem is with case sensitivity

@or(not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'noreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'donotreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'no-reply')),not(contains(toLower(triggerBody()?['From']), 'postmaster')))

Hi @nhafala ,

I afraid that your expression is wrong,you should use the and function instead of the or function, the expression should as below:

@and(not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'noreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'donotreply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'no-reply')),not(contains(triggerBody()?['From'], 'postmaster')))

Please let me know if your problem could be solved.

Best regards,
