remove FW: from mail Message ID

[dongenr]

Hi all,

When I receive a mail with "FW:" in the message ID / Subject, I am able to move it to another mail folder, but I want to remove this "FW:", or replace it by "FORW".

I tried with this option: replace(triggerBody()['subject'],'RE: ','').

However it gives json error.

Maybe my approach is fully wrong, please advise!

Hi @dongenr 

You have to change the subject line using api call and then move it, it work then 

see below

in the api request body, new subject is passed as expression , replacing Fw with FORW 

replace(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'],'Fw:','FORW:')

Now in move email action, id was extracted from body of http request action like below

body('Send_an_HTTP_request')?['id']

Here i am moving the email to NN folder (for demo purposes)

Hope this helps !

Mark it as solution if it resolves your query

Hi @dongenr,

messageID  and Subject are different things.

To modify Subject you have to use a GRAPH request.

Hi Nived,
Finally I could try your advice, not yet with success.

I get this error

Do you have a clue about this?

Hi @dongenr 

Json format you have used is wrong , you have placed a semicolon 

See how i have added the json body to my flow 

it is like below

{

"subject":"value"

}

instead of value, we are using replace expression in our flow design 🙂

Hope this helps !

[dongenr]

Hi Nived,
Thank you for your patience :):(

After replacing the semicolon, I get this

So I now have:

with: replace(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], 'FW:', 'FORW:')

This looks identical to your code.....

Hi @dongenr 

could u share the complete error message ?

I think it is limitation of graph api in your case .

Error Details
As of May 6, 2020, shared mailbox support was added for certain operations with an optional 'Mailbox address' parameter, allowing you to specify a shared mailbox address for your operation to access. If you were using this operation prior to May 6, 2020, you will need to explicitly update your operations to specify the shared mailbox address. Please follow the Office 365 documentation for more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365/#shared-mailbox-support

Hi @dongenr 

Try including mailbox address as parameter as well in request body like below

{

"Mailbox address":"address_value",

"subject":"value"

}

replace the address_value with your mailbox address on which u are working and try the flow again 

Let me know whether it works 🙂

Hi @Nived_Nambiar,

for what? Are you sure that exists the message property "Mailbox address"?

I cannot find it here:  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/message?view=graph-rest-1.0

[Nived_Nambiar]

Hi @VictorIvanidze 

I have seen in the error message to include that parameter , see below 

[dongenr]

I get the idea, however.....

It now looks like this

Sadly I get this error

Hi @Nived_Nambiar,

this "Mailbox address" parameter  means they added an additional field to some Power Automate actions.

It's not linked with a GRAPH  request body at all.

[VictorIvanidze]

Hi @dongenr,

use this syntax:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}

(see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http) 

[VictorIvanidze]

Hi @dongenr,

any progress? 

[Nived_Nambiar]

Hi @VictorIvanidze 

Thanks for the clarification.

So if you know details around error message , could you help to understand what actually does it implies?

Since you said that mailbox address is a parameter in some power automate, why it should specify here in case of sending http request ?

could you explain it better ?

[VictorIvanidze]

Hi @Nived_Nambiar ,

honestly speaking, I do not know what to explain here. If you wish to work with a shared mailbox, you cannot use /me in the GRAPH request URL. That's all.

[Nived_Nambiar]

Hi @VictorIvanidze 

Got it now 

Thanks for information !

[dongenr]

Slow response due to Bank Holiday, sorry.
Not sure if I get the correct setting: 
1.

2.

I do not get an error, but it keeps running

[dongenr]

oh, now I see that the second option seems to run into error

sorry for the confusion
