Hi,
is there a way to download and save the link in the email to the desired location?
Hi @dvojinovic
Try using regex on the mail body.
Use mail body as input to the Matches activity,
use this expression:
(?:(?:https?|ftp|file)://|www.|ftp.)(?:([-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~|$?!:,.]*)|[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~|$?!:,.])(?:([-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|$?!:,.])|[a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|$])
You might be able to fetch it.
Thanks,
Aditya
I did this part
and how do I download that file and save it?
You can use a HTTP Request activity (part of UiPath.WebAPI.Activities) and set the following:
- Request method → GET
- Request URL → The URL you got from the email
- Filename for response attachment → Path to the file on the PC where you would like to download it.
Hi @dvojinovic
If that file directly can download the file without clicking any where,
either you can go with the approach that’s given by @yikwen.goo .
or else if you want to go through with UI route.
Add an Use application/Browser and hit that url to get the save file pop up and save it on the respective path.
Thanks
Hi @dvojinovic
- Use “Get Outlook Mail Messages” to retrieve the email that contains the link.
- Once you have the email, you can use the “Matches” activity in UiPath to extract the link using a regex pattern.
- Once you have the match(es) from the regex, you can further process or manipulate the link as needed. For example, you might want to store it in a variable or save it to a specific location.
Thanks!!
hi
what address should be entered in the “end point”
You should enter the URL you got from the email - it’s the URL that leads to the file that you would liek to download.
