Supported actions
Prerequisites
Create a Microsoft OAuth credential
Create a Microsoft OAuth credential
Set up a Microsoft OAuth credential by following the Microsoft Entra OAuth setup guide, store it in Credential Management, then select it on every Microsoft Outlook action. These actions also support end user authentication, so a step can act on each user’s own mailbox.
How to use these actions
- Map text inputs from earlier steps. Inputs such as To, Subject, and Body accept a value mapped from a previous step. The Body Content Type and Importance selections, the Save To Sent Items, Is Read, and Reply All toggles, and Top take fixed values.
- Recipient fields accept multiple addresses. To, Cc, and Bcc accept multiple comma separated addresses.
- Folder message lookups accept a name or an ID. The Folder Message Get All action accepts a well known folder name (
inbox,drafts,sentitems,deleteditems) or a folder ID. - List actions use OData syntax. The Filter input uses OData syntax such as
isRead eq false. - Attachment content is base64 encoded. Provide attachment content as a base64 encoded value.
