We want to check a mailbox for an email and send out an email if it's not received

[kylep]

We want to check a mailbox each day for a specific email.  If the email isn't there we want to send an email to a different mailbox.

How can we do this?

We've used the Get emails action with the Search Query so it only finds the specific email we want.  That works great, but the problem is how can we tell Flow to email out only when the array is empty?

Hi @kylep,

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

• Add a Recurrence trigger, Interval set to 1 and Frequency set to day.
• Add a "Get emails" action, specify Folder and Search Query.
• Add a Condition, click "Edit in advanced mode", type the following formula:

@empty(body('Get_emails'))

• Within "If/yes" branch of Condition, add a "Send an email" action.

The flow works successfully as below:
