How to auto-forward E-mails to an email address using PowerAutomate

If you want to automate forwarding emails to an email account that doesn't belong to you, here is a simple way to do it using Power Automate by Microsoft.

Use case

I recently started tracking my shares portfolio using Navexa a free share portfolio tracker which is similar to Sharesight.

This gives me the ability to track the dividends, gains, and how my portfolio is doing overall. However, as I am a newbie at investing and not ready to spend on another subscription, I decided to use the Navexa free tier. It is a great site, however, It doesn't allow me to auto-sync my trade history from the broker account on the free tier. Instead, every time I make a buy or sell, I need to forward the email that includes the contract note to a unique email address so that Navexa can track the latest trade.

I do not wish to do this manually and as my Gmail account doesn't allow me to auto-forward emails an email that I don't have access to, I had to look for an option elsewhere. This is where power automate is helpfull
