Question

Microsoft Outlook error: Unable to retrieve the list of emails, the requested user "posreporting' is invalid.

Hello,

I am trying to configure a Zap that is triggered when a shared inbox, “posreporting” receives an email with a report attached. From here, I am going to upload the report to the correct Dropbox folder. The problem I am running into is getting the shared inbox to connect. I’ve tried typing ‘posreporting’ and ‘posreporting@ourdomain.com”. 

See error here^

Please let me know if you know a potential solution. Thanks!

Hi @FP_Caroline 

Good question.

Please post screenshots with how your Zap trigger step is configured.

Does the connected Outlook account have access to the shared inbox as indicated by the field description?

 

 

The sender and receiver's domain is the same, and the receiver is a shared inbox

The Zap will not trigger for emails sent to a shared inbox that has the same domain as the sender's address. To fix this, send the email from an address with a different domain.

The shared inbox has the same domain as my personal inbox because the domain is the company name. Is there any work around?
