The way the flow trigger works is that it executes the flow as the sender of the email which will be guest if it can’t figure out who the sender is from the email address. Because the ACLs are very restrictive on sys_email there’s a good chance that the sender won’t have rights to touch the sys_email table. The way to deal with that is to drop into a subflow running as system to do what you’re trying to do.

Create the subflow first to process the email based on the input parameters. The main flow will be triggered from the inbound email then call the subflow (passing the parameters to the subflow.)

Chuck ,
I created the sub flow but not sure how to trigger that ,,
As of now if an email with xyz as subject is entered in to Servicenow I am creating an incident with Short description abc ,,
when i created the Sub flow there is no lookup for record which is just created or some thing like that.
and is it creating the new subflow and creating sub flow in the flow the same ?
