I have configured an inbound email flow in my custom application with specific trigger conditions. However, when an email is received, my intended inbound email flow is not triggering. Instead, a different flow is executing.
Current Behavior:
Expected inbound email flow does not trigger
A different flow executes instead when emails are received
Trigger conditions are configured
What I've Checked:
Email conditions appear to match the incoming email criteria
Flow is active and published
Trigger conditions are properly defined
Questions:
How can I control the execution order of multiple inbound email flows to ensure my specific flow executes first?
Is there a way to prevent other flows from processing the same email once my flow executes?
Are there any hidden settings or properties that might affect which flow triggers?

Take a look at this article. You can add the Execution order to the flow so that you can set its priority higher than the other flow that is running. In ServiceNow, on an Inbound email, it will look through Inbound Actions and Flows, and when it finds one where it meets the condition, it will run that one (based on the Execution order) and then do a "Stop Processing" order and will no longer look for any Inbound Actions or Flows to run.

I reviewed the article and attempted to check the "glide.hub.flow.inbound_email_trigger.show_advanced" system property, but I was unable to locate it. Has this property been deprecated, or is there an alternative way to achieve the same functionality?

Just create the property with the values shown in the picture.
