URGENT: Long email thread being passed into Planner task description

[milo1234]

I have created a flow that creates a planner task when an email is flagged. This flow passes the body of the email into the planner description, however the long email thread is included. I have been told there is a trick I can use:

*Check a separator in the email that breaks the first message from all others. Then I need to use a "split function" with that character. The first item of the array is my email message*.

Can someone please show an example of this as I am a beginner with Power Automate and don't know how to incorporate this into my flow. Thank you.

When an email is received and if it contains earlier replies, we can observe following:

1. Subject will contain Re:  (Note: User can update the subject while replying or forwarding).

2. Email body contains a horizontal bar which separates current email content with previous content.

So, when an email is received you can check for first "<hr" tag and perform string operations on the text to exclude the unnecessary email body content. 

I hope this will help you.
