Question

Outlook API fails to retrieve emails within specified date range despite correct filter query that works in Microsoft Graph.

Hi,

I am going crazy trying to create a routine that retrieve email from outlook on a specific date range correctly. 

When I try the query below on the Microsoft Graph environment works as expected.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/inbox/messages?$filter=receivedDateTime ge 2024-02-11T22:00:00Z and receivedDateTime lt 2024-02-12T22:00:00Z

when I add a zap with the outlook api call and I add this in the first screenshot 

despite passing correctly the filter 

it only retrieve email from today and not my specified range.

I also tried this format that does not give error but still does not work

Am i doing something wrong? How is possible that the exact same query works in Microsoft Graph why in here it does not pass the range and just retrieve the today email?

I was wondering if anyone else got the same problem? Or if you can suggest a workaround?

Hi Mike, 

Yes, any search criteria will only return the email of the day, never in the specified range, however in the Microsoft Graph environment the same query works perfectly.

Have you tried modifying the search criteria?

 

receivedDateTime >= 2024-02-11T22:00:00Z and

receivedDateTime < 2024-02-12T22:00:00Z

Or

receivedDateTime >= ‘2024-02-11T22:00:00Z’ and

receivedDateTime < ‘2024-02-12T22:00:00Z’

 

Kind regards,

Mike
