Teams Notification when Outlook Email Sent

Hello,

 

I am looking for a way to send a teams alert to a recipient when that recipient receives an email from a specific sender. Is there any way to do this? I've looked at Outlook rules and found nothing but I could've missed something.

 

Thanks

    Hi Jbux91,

    unfortunately, there are no option in Outlook to achieve this.

    However, Microsoft Power Automate can be used to trigger a Teams alert (notification, message) when an email from a specific sender is received in Outlook.
    Here's a general approach:

    1. Initiate a Power Automate flow:
      Start by creating a new flow within Power Automate.

    2. Define the trigger:
      Select "When a new email arrives" in Outlook as the trigger for your flow. You can specify particular conditions, such as emails from a specific sender.

    3. Incorporate an action:
      Add an action to send a message in Teams. You'll designate the team and channel where the message should appear.

    4. Configure the message:
      Customize the message content to include relevant details from the email, such as sender information, subject, or email body.
