Set flags and/or modify the subject on the incoming Office 365 source message.

This action works with the message currently being processed.

Enter a comma separated list of Categories to assign to the message. Leave blank for no change.

Set Focused – set if the message appears in the ‘Focused’ or ‘Other’ view.

Set Importance – set the Importance for the message.

Set Mark As Read – set the ‘read’ status for the message.

Set Follow Up Flag – set the follow up status for the message.

If Follow Up Flag is set to Flagged, enter the number of Days if you want the follow-up flag to be set for the current message. The Days entry can use %variable% replacements. It should be set to a numeric value representing the number of days from today.

Modifying The Subject

You can modify the message subject by entering a value in the Subject entry. You can use %variable% replacements, for example to append ‘(processed)’ you would set the Subject to %Msg_Subject% (processed). If this entry is blank then the subject is not changed.

This action can only be used on Automations that are called from an Office 365 Message Source.
