Update Email ​

Modifies the state of an existing email in a Microsoft 365 mailbox — marking it as read, moving it to a folder, or both.

Purpose ​

Use this task to update an email's status after it has been retrieved and processed by the workflow. It is typically placed after a Get Emails node, receiving the Email ID from that step to identify which message to act on. The task supports marking the email as read and moving it to a named folder, enabling automated inbox management as part of document or approval workflows.

Inputs ​

Email IDTextYesThe unique identifier of the email to update, typically obtained from a preceding Get Emails node.
Set to ReadCheckboxNoIf checked, marks the email as read.
Move to FolderTextNoThe display name of the folder to move the email to (e.g. Archive, Processed). The folder must already exist.

Outputs ​

This task performs an action and does not produce output variables.
