Gmail Connector(Power Automate Cloud flows)
This is a group of functions that perform operations on the "Gmail" browser (cloud).
It performs email sending and auto-reply.
How to build flow.
Basically, it is triggered by the "When new mail arrives" trigger, which is triggered when Gmail is received, and uses the message ID of its dynamic content to perform subsequent actions (reply, delete, move to recycle bin).
Less frequently, there is also a pattern of saving the message ID in a file and loading it.
The "Get email details" is only of value in this pattern.
Since sending an email is just a "Send email", it can be used independently of other Gmai-related triggers and actions.
As is the case with other actions, it is also possible to link file content from OneDrive or Google Drive file content from OneDrive or Google Drive can also be used as attachments.
