Date Filter in Outlook

Help Studio

Hi All,

I am trying to find a way to filter the outlook in such a way I can use subject, sender, and date via variables.

I am getting the following but it isn’t working:

“@SQL=urn:schemas:httpmail:subject LIKE '%” +variable.ToString + “%’”

Appreciate the help :slight_smile: :beers:

Thanks,
Shubham

@Shubham_Varshney You can use the Get Outlook Mail Messages without a Filter to get the number of mails required. Then you can use a Query in an assign Activity to Keep only the mails that match your requirement in the following way :

mailMessages = mailMessages.Where(Function(x)x.Headers(“Date”).ToString.Contains(“yourDateValue”) and x.Subject.Equals(“yourSubjectValue”) and x.Sender.ToString.Contains(“yourSenderEmailValue”)).ToList

Where mailMessages is the Output of Get Outlook Mail Messages.

Note : The Date format it follows is probably “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss”. You should provide your value accordingly.

Hi @supermanPunch

I am looking for the SQL query or the simple filter query that can be applied directly to “Get Outlook mails”

This is very fast as it retrieves what’s required :slight_smile:

I am trying to merge date, subject, received from and etc in this together!!!

Thanks,
Shubham

@Shubham_Varshney The below Filter seems to have worked for me :
Please check it and revert back if found any error.

"@SQL=(""urn:schemas:httpmail:subject"" like '%"&SubjectVar &"%') AND (""http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0065001f"" like '%"&SenderMailVar &"%') AND (""urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived"" >= '07/19/2020 00:00:00')"

SubjectVar and the SenderMailVar are the variables that contain the values needed.
I have tried using a Like Operator on DateReceived but It didn not work. So I have kept it in the format it is supposed to accept as the mails have “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss” format.

@ppr @supermanPunch

The char(4) was creating a problem for me, so I tried @supermanPunch query it worked fine but I got stuck with the senders email issue…

12

@Shubham_Varshney What kind of issue ?

13

it’s not fetching on the basis of the email id at all

char(4) is becoming a bit complicated to apprehend, still trying that as well

14

@Shubham_Varshney Are you using a complete sender mail ID or a part of the mail id ?

15

@Shubham_Varshney
char(4)? was meant Chr(34)?

16

lol damn!!!

Let me try that!!!

@ppr any clue on the filter for senders email ?

17

completely using it!!!
That is xyz@gmail.com

18

@Shubham_Varshney I have tried with Completely using the mail Id, It worked for me. So you’re assigning to a variable and using it or directly using it, If you have not check by directly using it, can you check once ?
Also does it give an error or there won’t be no mails received ?Also make sure the date is set right.

19

It reverts back with 0 mail found!!!

@Shubham_Varshney Can you maybe send a Screenshot of the complete query that you have used in the filter?
