Stopp Flow if now mails in inbox after 30 minutes

Hello

I am trying to build a flow that:

1. Waits for an email

2. If it does not arrive after 30 Minutes stops the flow and sends an email.

Regards

    JFM_12 there's no trigger that can wait for an email, you'd have to have something else that triggers the flow.

      Hi Rob

      Thank you. Is there not a possibility to stop the action "when a mail arrives".
      What I meant. The flow starts and waits for emails. If it takes to long then another action stops the flow.

      Regards

        JFM_12 I think you are misunderstanding what the flow can do. There has to be something that triggers the flow, that makes it start. For example when an email arrives or when a SharePoint items is created. A flow can't just sit there waiting to see if an email hasn't arrived, the email has to arrive for the flow to trigger.
