autoreply from mailbox on specific days of the week and times

[Gwynbleid]

Hi,

I am trying to make a flow that on specific days of the week and time will send an autoreply

Example:

If mail is received on a Friday, 18:00 -> Reply with a message

if mail is received on Saturday/Sunday -> Reply with a message

if mail is received on Monday, before 6:00 -> Reply with a message

I am trying to achieve it with converting the 'received time' but i keep on failing.

Could anybody help here please ?

Regards.

Hi @Gwynbleid 

Please take a look at the flow below: 

Expressions:

1. dayofweek(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'])
2. formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'],'hh:mm')
3. dayofweek(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'])
4. dayofweek(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'])
5. dayofweek(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'])
6. formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'],'hh:mm')

Carefully map the groups and it should work. Note that all this works on UTC time zone as the default recieved time is considered in UTC for Flow. 

Hope this Helps!

@Gwynbleid 

I agree with @yashag2255 but would like to suggest a solution that is a little different.  I believe the times you will be accessing from the email are in UTC.  Assuming that is the case, you'll need to convert to your time zone before your condition.

The expressions that I used are as follows:

dayOfWeek(body('Convert_time_zone'))
addHours(startOfDay(body('Convert_time_zone')),18)

addHours(startOfDay(body('Convert_time_zone')),6)

The way I did it was slightly different, using just the Convert Time Zone action and  7 switches, 1 for each day of the week

Hi,

Many thanks for your answer.

I managed to get the conditions without the hour working correctly. As its Wednesday ( 3rd day) I am trying to imitate the behaviour that would be happening on a Friday with following conditions and the path it takes despite 14 being set.

Conditions text was copy pasted from you. Right now the days conditions work well, but the time ones are failing.

Hi,

I got it working after placing the expressions of the  hours in variables:

Expression:

formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['receivedDateTime'],'hh:mm')

Now I just need to adjust the less than part ( Monday Morning forexample) and it should be good

Cheers!
