Is it possible to add a Wait For Condition in Flow Designer to wait for a reply from an email?

Hi, I have a Flow that sends an email using the Send Email Action.  I would like for the Flow to pause after the email is sent, and only continue after a reply is received from that email.  Is this possible? 

 

If the above is possible, could I also require the email reply to have an attachment before continuing the flow?

For example, if the user replies without an attachment, the flow would remain paused until a reply was received with the attachment.  As soon as a reply is received with an attachment the flow would continue.

 

Any tips on how to implement this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Justin3,

You could do it with an inbound email action and a field or variable.  You can have it update the field to true or complete etc...and have the Flow watching for that condition....but I'd probably keep my Flows simpler and let that first Flow end (less resources) then when the email comes in and meets the criteria have it kick off the next part with a Subflow....and you don't have to worry about getting the wait for condition action right.
