Outlook Mark Read

Outlook Mark Read

Type: outlook-mark-read  ·  Package: Outlook Activities v1.0.0

Mark an email as read or unread. It is very useful in processes that read unread messages: after processing each message, you mark it as read so that it is not taken again in the next run.

How it works

From the EntryID of the email, its reading status changes according to isRead: true marks it as read (by default), false as unread.

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
entryId	expression	Mail EntryID (from correo.Id).

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
session	session	Outlook Connect session. If omitted, use the default account.
isRead	boolean	Mark as read (true, def.) or unread (false).

Example

Typical pattern: read unread, process and mark as read so as not to reprocess.

Outlook Get Emails   unreadOnly = true   → output: correos
For Each   items = = correos   itemVariable = correo
 └─ activities:
      ... procesar ...
      Outlook Mark Read   entryId = = correo.Id

Mark as read at the end

Mark the mail as read after successfully processing it (ideally at the end of the loop, or in the success lane of a Try / Catch). Thus, if something fails in the middle, the email remains unread and will be retried in the next run.
