Hello,

I would like to create a zap which monitors only one folder of the outlook email.

How should I do it?

Thanks

Hi @madamn 

Good question.

Try adding a Filter as step 2 in your Zap if there Folder data point comes thru in the Zap trigger data.

Otherwise, maybe use an Outlook Rule to forward emails to a Gmail account.

NOTE: Label = Folder in Gmail

How to add the folder in step 2. I cannot seem to find it.
