This week we are announcing a new action in the Office 365 Outlook<br \/>\nconnector, called <strong>Export email<\/strong>,\u00a0 that will generate a &#8220;.eml&#8221; file. You can then this file in SharePoint, for example.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/outlook-connector-export.png\" style=\"width: 471px; height: 268px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Export email is joined by two other new actions for emails (which are also available in the Outlook.com connector): <strong>Forward email<\/strong> and <strong>Mark as read<\/strong>. We have also added new actions to these connectors for events: the <strong>Respond to an event invite action<\/strong>\u00a0lets you choose a response of Accept, Tentatively Accept, or Decline, include comments, and whether or not to inform the event organizer about your response.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/outlook-connector-respond.png\" style=\"width: 472px; height: 187px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to try to automatically find a room for an event invitation that you&#8217;re creating inside of a flow, there are three new actions for working with room lists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/outlook-connector-rooms.png\" style=\"text-align: center; width: 401px; height: 102px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is a new trigger &#8211; <strong>When a new email mentioning me arrives<\/strong> &#8211; that starts a Flow when someone users your @Name in an email. This is useful, for example, to create tasks when your @Mentioned.<\/p>\n<h2>Five new connectors<\/h2>\n<p>This week there were five new connectors added:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/connectors\/shared_aci\/azure-container-instance\/\"><strong>Azure Container Instances<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Easily run containers on Azure with a single command.

This week, we released a feature where the Flow portal automatically will select the most recently used connection each time you add an action or trigger a flow. In addition, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/connectors\/\">Connectors <\/a>page we are now highlighting the connectors that have recently been added.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the HTTP action now supports chunked encoding. This means that large messages may be split up into many smaller requests to the connector to allow large message upload and download. Details can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/logicapps-chunk\">https:\/\/aka.ms\/logicapps-chunk<\/a>. You can enable this in the Settings for the HTTP action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we released several improvements to the Outlook connector, including saving an email as a &#8220;.eml&#8221; file, responding to calendar invitations automatically, and triggering flows when you are mentioned in an email thread.
