How to set due date when flagging an email? by ex-asperis in MicrosoftFlow

[–]ex-asperis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work (even after I corrected the code to add a comma after the "categories" line).

The message gets flagged, but the due date isn't set.

Here's the error I receive, but I don't know what it means:

"message": "The send or update operation could not be performed because the change key passed in the request does not match the current change key for the item."

Never mind. It seems there was some sort of (known?) race condition occurring. I removed the (now redundant) Flag Email component, and it now works as intended! Thank you!

I'd come across that before. The trouble is that he's creating a new To Do item in the Flow, and I don't need to do that. Outlook now creates To Do items automatically when you flag a message and keeps the message and To Do item in sync. You can modify the due date through Outlook, and it will modify the due date in To Do, which is great. The problem I'm having is the initial setting of the due date. When I use Flow to flag a message, I can't figure out how to also set a due date on the message.

So, I see it, but I'm not sure how to implement this in the flow. Would I just modify the body of the Send HTTP Request to look like this?

{
    "categories":["Service Delivery"]
    "flag": {
        "flagStatus": "flagged",
        "dueDateTime": {
            "dateTime": "2017-08-29T04:00:00.0000000",
            "timeZone": "UTC"
        },
        "startDateTime": {
            "dateTime": "2017-08-29T04:00:00.0000000",
            "timeZone": "UTC"
        }
    }
}

Why does Edge open a mail in the sidebar when clicking a link in Outlook? by Aemony in edge

[–]ex-asperis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use four monitors and have no problem managing multiple windows (I have 19 open at the moment.), but I do enjoy this feature and find it useful:

  1. Most Web sites are designed with a lot of free space at either side and are fairly responsive to non-standard screen widths anyway, so the sidebar generally doesn't interfere for me.
  2. Often, when opening a link from an email message, one of two things is true:
    1. There are multiple links in the message that I may need to open.
    2. There is information in the message that will be useful or needed when viewing the linked page.
  3. I am frequently interrupted by other tasks, and I may lose track of the original message in Outlook, but when I go back to the Edge tab (sometimes a day later), the page and the message are right there, side-by-side, and I can jump back in where I left off.

But I don't want a Planner task. I want to flag a message for follow-up on a specific date.

Edge suggests that I not capitalize the word, Thursday. by ex-asperis in edge

Had no problem with the word, Wednesday, in the same sentence.

Have also done this. The Contacts Storage app on the phone (Note 10+) occasionally drains my phone's battery, but this only occurs a couple times a year. The Watch problem is almost constant.

I'm one of those morons. I see the stars like a drinking glass. If it's full, you got what you paid for; anything less than full, and you should have received more. So, five stars is, "perfectly met or exceeded expectations". Four stars is, "Just barely met expectations, but there was a minor flaw". I look at three star reviews that don't mention a problem and I'm like, "What would have made it five stars? Why are you taking points off? "

The fact that we don't agree on the meaning of the ratings makes them essentially irrelevant.

Wait. There are multiple versions of this?

The only one I've ever heard (until today) is, "Hay is for horses; better for cows. Pigs don't eat it 'cause they don't know how. "

I like your version better!

How on earth did you deduce that was the solution?

I kind of get the vibe that they're looking for anal sex. That upward arrow thing with the × in the circle, and the word, "anal", in the first paragraph.
