Hi @niranjan.kummara

  1. Use the ā€œGet Outlook Mail Messagesā€ activity to retrieve all the emails in the inbox.
  2. Add a ā€œFor Eachā€ activity and iterate through the list of emails.
  3. Inside the ā€œFor Eachā€ loop, use an ā€œIfā€ activity to check if the email subject matches the specific subject youā€™re looking for.
  4. If the subject matches, use the ā€œSave Attachmentsā€ activity to save the attachment to a specific folder.
  5. Use a ā€œBreakā€ activity to exit the loop once the first matching email is found.

Happy Automation, Cheers!

Hi @niranjan.kummara,

  1. Use the ā€œGet Outlook Mail Messagesā€ activity in UiPath to retrieve all the emails with the specified subject.
  2. Sort the retrieved emails based on their received date using the ā€œSort Data Tableā€ activity. You can sort the table in descending order to ensure that the latest email is at the top.
  3. Retrieve the first row from the sorted data table using the ā€œSelect Itemā€ activity. This will give you the latest email.
  4. Use the ā€œSave Attachmentsā€ activity to download the attachments from the latest email.
