Is it possible to reverse the condition for the M365 sensor? For example I'm monitoring a backup but the backup only tells me when it fails not when it's succeeded so therefore I want it to go down if there is a matching email and up if there isn't.

I see that you are trying to reverse the values on your Microsoft 365 Sensor to monitor failed backups based on an email notification, is this correct?

Are you using Microsoft 365 Service Status Sensor or other?

To monitor email systems and set the status of a sensor based on the presence or absence of a matching email, you will need to use a different type of sensor, such as the "EventLog" or "Syslog" sensor that I mentioned in my previous answer.

Ok thanks, I think I've got it working to a point by using an Error value of 0 in the channel so that as soon as an email comes in, it errors and then clears when the email is removed. Not ideal but it's the only way I can see of it working with emails.
