I have a flow setup so that when I flag an email, it gets saved to Wunderlist. I am now trying to refine it so that if someone from my project team emails me and I flag it, it goes to a unique list in Wunderlist. I have a contact folder setup in Outlook (O365) and I've added the action to Get Contacts from that folder.
That works, I get the 11 contacts, and then I want to loop through it and say that if the From address is any of those emails, create the task. It doesn't seem to work. It ends up creating the task for a person NOT in the contacts folder. (the final IF NO at bottom right)
My gut is that the Email Addresses is an object, and not actually working with the actual email address values?
I think it would be easier to use the "Get Contact" option instead and do an operation that sees if Get Contact returns a value for checking that id and proceed according to that.
Get contact: Folder id, Sender email for ID
(Condition) If result of "Get Contact" equals the original sender address (then it must exist in your contact folder list) or just use True if that works then complete task A else complete task B
I hope that helps.
No good, I get an error { "status": 400, "message": "Id is malformed.", "source": "127.0.0.1" }. Guessing the email address is not the ID.
Hi, did you manage to resolve this? I am having the same issue.
Thanks
Mark
Sadly, I haven't.
I have the same problem.
I can't use an email address to retrieve a contact.
I have the same problem
Don't even know what contact id is
looks that it isn't the e-mail adresse but what else?
I'm investigating a similar question. These two posts have popped up that may be of use:
Condition to check wheter Get Contacts returning no record
How can Flow check to verify an email address exists or not in contacts in Outlook 365 Contacts
