I have set up auto replies to a shared mailbox successfully - how do I exclude auto replying to certain domains?

Hi Guys, 

I have below flow working perfectly for now:

I have a send email action; if the subject contains certain text as shown above. 

I would like to throw into above mix; to exclude certain domain(s) from the the send email action... how can I do this please?

Have you got your own idea how to achieve that?

@bigmandat You should consider adding Trigger Conditions to your flow instead. The reason being is that without Trigger Conditions your flow will run each time a new email arrives in your Shared Mailbox. Since you want to avoid running your flow when you receive an auto-reply, you should consider setting up trigger conditions. 

Also, the Condition action maxes out at 10 conditions. You could easily condense the number of condition arguments by converting the subject line to lower case and evaluating the text that way. 

Refer to this YT Tutorial on how to set up Trigger Conditions: 4 Ways You Can Use Trigger Conditions in Your Microsoft Power Automate Flow

If you are using an Automated Cloud flow trigger in your flow—you need to consider adding trigger conditions.

Do YOU 🫵 know what a trigger condition is? Trigger conditions can be set in most flow triggers. These conditions you set must be true for the trigger to fire. In this Power Automate tutorial, I’m going to show you how to use trigger conditions in your flows to control when your Power Automate flows trigger.

If your plan has flow run limits—you can avoid triggering your flows unnecessarily by using trigger conditions.

I’ll cover four different flow examples that would benefit from trigger conditions:

⚡️ Triggering a flow when a column is changed to a specific value

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When an Event Updated or Deleted

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a New Folder is Created

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a Specific Email is Received I’ll also show you a trick on how to easily create the expressions needed and give you a few tips on how to troubleshoot your flow.
