Microsoft Flow to Store Emails on SharePoint from Shared Mailbox

The client's requirement was to use a Shared Mailbox which will have multiple alias and according to the alias determine a library on SharePoint and store the email in that library. Now, from flow's action "when a new email arrives in a shared mailbox" you can't determine the email sent to which alias. This is where use of exchange transport rules came to my mind. So, what I did, I created an exchange transport rule for every alias, which will prefix name of the alias to the subject line of the email and then while processing the email in flow I, through some string operations got the name of alias out of the subject line.

In the image below, the email was originally sent to alias HRJobs@xyz.com, but when it got to Flow you can see that in the To address, the value is mycompanyjobs@xyz.com, which is address of the Shared mailbox. In the subject line you would see how HRJobs is prefixed.


Well, this is it until next time!
Thanks for reading.

PnP Modern Search Extensibility: Creating Custom Layouts

In the last blog  we were looking at the basics of PnP Modern Search Extensibility, what we can customize  and how to create a the library component. In this blog, we will explore how to add custom layouts using extensibility.  Right now, PnP Modern Search Results webpart provides you with these 5 layouts, Details List, Cards, Slider, List and People, which should be sufficient for simpler scanarios. In addition to that, it also allows you to customize the layout by editing the handlebar template using “edit result template” option under Custom layout, or you can create a custom handlebar file, upload it on SharePoint and then add its location in “ Use an external template layout” option. For example, you are setting up a Search Results page for showing projects. If you use the the default List layout, then the results would end up looking like in the image below, it shows page title, author, date modified, project summary and then what all tags the project has been...

In the blog series of PnP Modern Search Extensibility we have looked at basics of  PnP Modern Search Extensibility , how to add a  custom layout  and how to add custom web components , in this blog we will look at creating custom handlebar helpers. With extensibility you can also create Handlebar helpers that can be used to in HTML templates or while configuring layout fields. There are a lot of handlebar helpers available for common scenarios as well. In the previous blog we created a Custom Simple List layout, and for showing Project Summary we were using the Summary slot mapped to HitHighlightedSummary, but what if you have created a custom column in the library and want to use it show Project Summary and you also want to truncate it at 180 characters and add ellipsis and then when the user expands the collapsible section you want to show the whole Project Summary. To do that, first of all we need a handlebar helper that would truncate and add ellipsis after...

PnP Modern Search Extensibility

What is it? The PnP Modern Search solution includes a set of open-source web parts for SharePoint Online that allow for a highly customizable search experience. These web parts can be configured to create tailored search results pages, with features like dynamic filters, sorting, and pagination. PNP Modern Search Extensibility refers to the ability to customize and extend the PnP Modern Search webparts. This is achieved through various tools, components, and practices provided by the PnP community. Why do we need it? Before PnP Modern Search Extensibility was introduced, to achieve the desired changes to the search results, a lot of developers would make changes to the PnP Modern Search solution itself, which would result in the solution being detached from the community version, and if there were major releases done on the community version which were now desired on the cloned version, there would be no way to just deploy the new community package without losing the customizatio...
