Trigger a flow when an email is sent to an Office 365 group mailbox. This will be helpful to: - Save attachments sent to a group to team document library or one drive (something like incoming emails on SharePoint on prem) - Automate creation of events based on email sent to a group mailbox

Trigger a flow, if I change a category of an e-mail that is already in my inbox. e.g.: I open an e-mail in Outlook desktop and set it's category to 'Licensing' and then close (and save) this e-mail. Then I want to trigger a flow to work on this e-mail.

Sending emails with Flow is really useful. However, composing good looking emails with dynamic content is really difficult and tedious. The current UI experience here is really terrible. Microsoft - please consider the following improvements: Add a better and more modern Rich Text / HTML editor to flow actions where needed. For example all actions for sending emails. Here we need a better experience for authoring the email body. Allow authors to copy and paste HTML content including tags for dynamic content. This would allow for using an external editor. Allow authors to edit text as Rich Text and as HTML source.

Many times we are using Excel to track information that is contributed from multiple teams. It would be great to be able to trigger a flow when someone has made a change to a row in an Excel spreadsheet. That flow could then email the curator of that sheet and enable the tracking and identify when all the appropriate people have contributed.

When I am using approvals I'm 99% of the time approving them using my phone (iPhone). But I also receive an email, which is clutter for me. See the picture below as an example of a flow approval that triggers a valuable Flow notification and sends an unnecessary clutter email message. Can you make it possible to make the approval system smarter, so it only sends out a notification to your Phone when you have the Microsoft Flow app installed? Or it sends out the notification first to your mobile phone and if you don't respond within X days, it sends a reminder of Flows waiting for approval to your email? It would also be great when you can define your settings e.g.: I want to get approval notifications using (checkboxes): Mobile Microsoft Flow app Email Using the online flow.microsoft.com approvals page only Flow approval sends valuable notification and unnecessary clutter email message

it will be very productive to have the chance to move an email to diferent folders depending on what category was assigned to it. Thanks

send email to sharepoint assigned to column with multiple users or sharepoint group in a list item. This works with only single user in a assigned to value.

We desperately need a faster and easier way to set up flows to email form respondents a copy of their responses, where the questions are in the order they appeared on the form, and each answer is directly below the corresponding question. It's entirely too time-consuming to type in each question in the email body and enter the corresponding answer variable (the labels for which get cut off when they are too long, so we can't even see which answer is which when questions begin with similar wording). Please, please make this a priority!

Any option to send an email should also include the "From" field. Currently, anytime there is a reject/approve or vote email sent, there is no "From" field option in Flow.

Hi there, Much like "Send Email with Options", I'm trying to send an email where the user inputs a variable inside the email, except I'd like this input to be a text box (specifically a number input) It's curently possible to send an HTML form in an email using the "Send Email" function but it is not possible/easy to take the user response and feed it back into the flow

Please add the ability to connect to an external (non-exchange online) email service via either activesync or POP3. I have email addresses that are hosted on other platforms (predominantly on-premises exchange) that I would like to use some workflows for (saving attachments for one)

Walter · ‎02-27-2017

It would be very usefull if a flow can search for a string in the contence of an attachment. Take the following example... You receive an email with an invoice as attachment. You want to save the mail and the attachment in a Onedrive folder especially created to hold only invoices of a certain year. Some emails can be catched correctly if the email subject contains the word "Invoice" but other emails would fail. You could always catch all mails if u could set a condition in a flow for the word "Invoice" inside the content of the attachment. I would be gratefull is this could be made happen in the future.

Let a flow create a new page in OneNote with a printout of an E-Mail in Office 365 mailbox. Same functionality as the OneNote button works in Outlook (desktop).

TaurangaNZ · ‎07-17-2018

I guess that would be a bad thing, because then Flow would see all my emails? Instead my idea is that I would like to trigger just certain emails using a rule from my desktop outlook to be sent to Flow to be processed.

Lots of people uses gmail and its connected services (contacts, calendar, etc), I wonder how far is MS Flow of adding a connector to that services. thanks in advance! J

For email accounts that are sending a lot of automated emails, it would be great to have a trigger for any NDRs received so they can be routed to a queue for processing like, for example, a Wunderlist task list or a SharePoint list. Other users would then contact the recipients to fix their email address.

Is it possible to create a Flow that can apply a filter to specified Outlook folders based on Outlook email Categories and can import into Excel email Subject, Categories, and a link to the Outlook email? #WednesdayWisdom

In addition to counting the total number of emails inside an inbox (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/Count-the-number-of-emailsin-the-inbox-or-specified-folder/idc-p/56739#M3887) we also need the ability to count the volume of email received within a certain time period. That would allow us to build flows for folks to detect: 1. When emails should be coming in, but are not (indicative of a problem with another system) 2. When a system is being flooded with email (indicative of a problem!) 3. When counters are just going up too quickly

The ideal goal would be to be able to get a collection of the attachments and/or linked code items from a VSTS work item and attach them (zipped or individual) to an outgoing email where the email's "To" field would come from a custom field in the VSTS work item. The use case would be the following: 1) Creation of a new custom work item type in VSTS (Transmittal) with a custom field speficying the desired recipients (Addressees or similar) and a custom state (Ready for Transmitting) 2) User creates a new instance of the Transmittal work item (State = new) and attaches various files to it and/or links existing code items to it. 3) User sets the work item's state to Ready for Transmitting. 4) Microsoft Flow kicks off to roll up all of the work items attachments and linked code items as a zipped attachment (or individual attachments) to an outgoing email. 5) Microsoft Flow sends that email out to the recipients specified in the Transmittal work items Addressees field. 6) Microsoft Flow updates the work item's state from Ready for Transmitting to Closed.
