Went to flow designer as it has more capabilities but not seeing "email received" option

What I'm saying is that should not have to be done by the flow inbound action. This is something the system handles. Is this a custom table or anything that your are updating with the flow inbound action?

I am using the flow designer that is using a catalog (3 tables) so was hoping flow designer had an OOB way

Hi @Joshua Comeau ,,

Use one of the existing inbound actions that does this as a model. For example, the Update Problem inbound email action does this in the script of the Action section:

if (current.getTableName() == "problem") {
current.work_notes = "reply from: " + email.origemail + "\n\n" + email.body_text;
...
current.update();
}

You can reuse this code, changing the target table name from problem to the intended target table.

The above code snippet copies the email into the Work Notes [work_notes] field. To copy into the Additional Comments [comments] field, instead, replace current.work_notes with current.comments in the script.

 

Please mark as helpful/correct if it helps.

 

Thanks & Regards,

There is an action, Associate Record to Email, that you need to call to use to create the association between the two records.
