Modify a Microsoft 365 Message

The Modify a Microsoft 365 Message action updates the original Microsoft 365 message that triggered a Remote Mailbox workflow. Use it to change read status, importance, categories, or follow-up flags in Outlook.

Configuration

Change Message Status

FieldDescription
Message StatusSelect No change, Read, or Unread. This field allows only one read status change.
ImportanceSets Low, Normal, or High importance. Select No change to leave importance unchanged.

Categories

FieldDescription
Categories ModeSelect No Change, Add to Existing Categories, Remove from Existing Categories, Replace Existing Categories, or Clear All Categories. Select No Change to leave categories unchanged. Select Clear All Categories to remove every category from the message.
CategoriesSelect existing Microsoft 365 categories or unlock a row to type a category name or text expression. This list appears only for Add to Existing Categories, Remove from Existing Categories, and Replace Existing Categories.

Existing Microsoft 365 connections may need reconnecting before the category picker can read category names. If the picker asks you to reconnect, reconnect the Microsoft 365 connection once. You can still type category names manually without reconnecting.

Follow-up FlagSets the message as Flagged, Complete, or Not flagged.
Flag Start Date and TimeOptional start date and time for flagged messages.
Flag Due Date and TimeOptional due date and time for flagged messages.
