Update list when Send email with options sends successfully
I'm actually trying to log when the email was sent AND when the recipient response. I'd like to have a view where it shows all the info - email sent (yes/no), email sent date, response (a, b, or c), response date.
In theory I could set a variable when the send email runs and update the list after the response using that variable, but it doesn't give the visibility I'm after to know which items have had an email sent but not responded to. Hopefully that makes sense and adds some clarity.
You could always work on the assumption that it fails, and handle the error of the email being sent accordingly (See screenshot). If the email is going to fail to send, you'll get the failure almost immediately and so you can a further update to either log the error in the list or remove the sent date. This would be your "has failed" step, whereas the "is successful" will continue to wait until the response comes back.
It's not quite the nice and shiny solution which you're looking for but it should do the job.
