The Get Conversation action retrieves every mailbox message with a matching Outlook conversation ID. It follows Microsoft pagination, sorts messages by received time, and returns the complete conversation oldest first.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
Third-party account	Microsoft account	Yes	Account whose mailbox is searched.
Conversation ID	String	Yes	Outlook conversation ID from a trigger, draft, or message.
Download Attachments	Boolean	No	Download files for every message. Defaults to `false`.

Leave attachment downloading off when you only need conversation text. It adds a request for each message that reports attachments.

Outputs

Messages is a list ordered from oldest to newest. Each item includes:

Field	Type	Description
Message ID	String	Microsoft message ID.
Conversation ID	String	Conversation ID returned by Microsoft.
Sender Name	String	Sender display name.
Sender Address	String	Sender email address.
Subject	String	Message subject.
Plain Text	String	Body requested as text.
HTML	String	Body requested as HTML.
Date/Time	Date	Received time.
Is Read	Boolean	Outlook read state.
Attachments	List of files	Available only when downloading is enabled.

Toggling Download Attachments changes the nested output shape by adding or removing Attachments. Check downstream connections after changing it.

Troubleshooting

No messages are returned

Trimmed Conversation ID matching is exact. Confirm the ID comes from the same Microsoft mailbox and has not been confused with a Message ID.
