Flow to change the subject of an email

[phileastman]

Hi, 

Apologies if this has already been asked. I have created a successful flow which creates a planner task when an email is received and provides the person emailing with a ticket reference. 

I can't seem to easily find how to edit the subject of the original email sent by the customer so I can add the ticket reference into the beginning of the subject:

e.g. 

Subject: New Customer Request

New Subject: A123: New Customer Request

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can use the concat expression as below

concat('your text',triggerOutputs()?['body/title'])

Hello,

I have the same issue: I want to edit the subject of an email to add a ticket number, but I can't find any solution to edit an email's subject without forwarding it.

The flow is activated by the email's arrival in a specific folder of a MB (using "When an new email arrives in a shared MB (V2)" ).

A entry is created in a sharePoint List, from which I recover the ID.

However, how to edit the email's subject before moving it to another "completed" folder?

The answer from Mira_Ghaly only mention the code to concatenate the ID.

How do you actually edit the email subject?

I couldn't find anything regarding it, s it possible?

Thank you!

i think this code will work in case i am forwarding the emails. I want to edit the subject without forwarding.

Same, but from what I understand, it's not possible:

Hello,

you can do that using the GRAPH api. It has been documented in the link you provided:
