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 creates a new message and selects a shared mailbox address as the From address.
Problem: When they click on 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 the second 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 second mailbox if you click Save).
Current version: 1.0.3
Installation
- Run 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". Use your existing connections or create new ones.
- 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 wish to work with any additional mailbox, 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":
- Run 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 now the message is here [2].
