Considerations
- A new property called “ID” is now available in the Exchange Online Broker > List method.
- You need to refresh the Exchange Broker Service Instance to add this new property.
- Existing SmartObject executions will not map the ID property and checks have been added to check if Body and Subject is empty and if only ID is specified it will load that item by ID.
- All other List method scenarios will still work as before.
- When two or more emails are stored in a folder and an email needs to be used separately, a Loop Step needs to be added in the workflow to concatenate the email subject titles.
