Getting rid of several emails in "Pending Send" status

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
In the D365, Customer Service Hub app, we have several emails stuck in "Pending Send" status.
We do not wish to send those emails now.
 
What would be a good approach - to delete these emails or to change the status to "Cancelled".
 
Working towards implementing a power automate flow for the update.
 
Thanks!

    For Power automate approach - there is no specific blog, you may try that by searching specific dataverse action.

    There is one more alternative way - you can use excel import export approach - Settings > import by template
    or XRM tool box SQL for CDS plugin - to write query to change status. (GPT can write query for you)
    you may find some of the relevant following few blogs, to worth read : https://halfstack.org/email-message-pending-send-status-in-dynamics-365/

    Thanks for your detailed response @DAnny.
    Is it possible for you to direct me to a Microsoft documentation supporting the recommendation?

    Hello,

    Thank you for your question.

    In Dynamics 365 Customer Service Hub, emails with a status of "Pending Send" are queued for delivery but have not yet been processed by the email router or server-side synchronization. If you no longer wish to send these emails, you have two main options:

    Recommended Approaches:

    1. Change Status to 'Cancelled'
      This is the preferred method if you want to retain the email record for audit or tracking purposes but prevent it from being sent. You can update the status reason of the email to "Cancelled", which effectively stops the sending process.

    2. Delete the Email Records
      If the emails are not needed for historical or compliance reasons, you can delete them. However, this action is irreversible and may affect reporting or case history if the emails are linked to other records.

    Power Automate Implementation:

    To automate this process, you can create a Power Automate flow that:

    • Triggers on a schedule or manually.
    • Queries email records with status = Pending Send.
    • Updates the status reason to Cancelled, or deletes the record based on your preference.

    Make sure the flow includes appropriate filters and error handling to avoid unintended updates.

    Please verify if this response was helpful.
    Best regards.

    I don't see any other reason other than  Audit/history
