Shared Mailbox Instant Acknowledgment Fallback
On every new message arriving in a shared Outlook mailbox, checks whether a human or native auto-reply already acknowledged the sender; if not, sends a branded fallback…

- OutputSend fallback acknowledgment to senderOutlook
What it does
It watches a shared Outlook mailbox for new inbound messages in real time. For each one it waits a short grace period, then checks whether the thread received any reply (human or built-in auto-reply). If the sender still has silence, it sends a single branded acknowledgment from the shared mailbox confirming receipt and expected response time.
When to use it
Use it as a safety net when your native Outlook auto-reply is unreliable or disabled, or when you want acknowledgment only for threads a human did not already touch within minutes. It guarantees every sender gets exactly one acknowledgment, never zero and never a duplicate.
How it works
- 1A new inbound message in the shared mailbox triggers the flow.
- 2Wait a configurable grace period (default 10 minutes) to give a human time to reply first.
- 3Re-read the thread via the Outlook API to see if any reply was sent.
- 4If a reply already exists, stop and do nothing.
- 5If still unanswered, send a templated acknowledgment from the shared mailbox to the original sender.
- 6Log the acknowledgment so the same thread is never double-acked.
