Purpose
Suppose that an Outlook user has access to their personal mailbox and to additional shared mailboxes (usually "Info" <info@company.com>, "Sales" <sales@company.com> etc.). They create a new message and select a shared mailbox address as the From address. Problem: When they click the Save button, the draft is saved in their personal "Drafts" folder, not in the "Drafts" folder of the shared mailbox.
The flow ensures that the message created with a shared mailbox's From address stays in the mailbox from which it originated after saving (i.e., it will be placed in the "Drafts" folder of the shared mailbox if they click Save).
Current version: 1.0.3
Installation
- Open Office 365 Power Automate and import the CoolDraft.zip file into your flows list as described here.
- The flow uses two connections: "Office 365 Outlook" and "Office 365 Users". You may use existing connections or create new ones as needed.
- Select the "Drafts" folder of your personal mailbox in the "Folder" field of the trigger. Populate the "*Inputs" field in the "Compose AllowedMailboxes" action with a JSON array containing the default addresses of additional mailboxes you want to work with. If you want the flow to work with all additional mailboxes, place an empty array [] there.
- Turn on the flow.
Testing
If you have the primary (personal) mailbox "jdoe@contoso.com" and the additional mailbox "sales@contoso.com":
- Open Outlook and create a new email. Enable the "From:" field.
- Fill in the "From:" field with "sales@contoso.com". Save the message. Note it is saved to your personal mailbox "Drafts" folder [1].
- Wait 5-10 seconds and navigate to "sales@contoso.com" > "Drafts". Make sure the message is now there [2].
