Change to Team's Channel "Email Messages" folder naming convention.
- I'd definitely contact support first and complain about the change.
However, in the meantime, e-mails come into the folders as eml files, you should be able to just create a flow that triggers on files coming into the library regardless of folder then "Create a copy" into the e-mail folder so it triggers your existing flows, then deletes the file after. Moving might work depending on the trigger of existing flows, but I would look into something like that to just pick them up and move them for you in the meantime.
Ellya_Gold Spoke with MS Support and they advised this change was made by the product team for performance reasons. Going forward the folder naming convention will be be EmailMessages_month_year.
We have multiple Power Automate flows impacted by this change and one work-around is to use a variable and expression to get the correct folder name for each month. For example:
concat('EmailMessages_',replace(utcNow('MM'),'0',''),'_',utcNow('yyyy'))
Though we do have to update all the flows to add this, I think we should be set going forward.
Hi Rehan Alibux, thanks for your suggestion. Will it work in October (10)?
I was thinking about an option : create a scheduled flow that rename the previous folder (e.g EmailMessages_2_2021) to the new name (e.g. EmailMessages_3_2021) so that I only keep one folder and it is created before the first email is sent so I can update my triggers.
Does someone know how to do that?
Thanks!
