Hi @abivanth.r

You can use the Get IMAP Mail Message activity or Get Outlook Mail message activity to retrieve the mails.
→ Filter expression to get the mail with ‘Argentina’ subject.

"[Subject] = 'Argentina'"

→ Open the properties of activity and find the Filter option give the above expression in filter.
→ In the properties check the Only Unread messages option.

Hope it helps!!

not getting any errors. but not the output too.
The subject is ‘Argentina Facturación SEP2023’ and there are other Aregntina emails for OCT,NOV…
How can I filter the argentina emails only and save the pdf’s

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Okay @abivanth.r

Then the Argentina contains in every subject.
If yes, then you have to use the below filter expression in filter option,

"@SQL=""urn:schemas:httpmail:subject"" like '%Argentina%'"

Hope you understand!!

And for saving the pdf attachment?
Thanks for the help

Okay go it… @abivanth.r

→ Use the for each activity to iterate the output variable of Get outlook or Get IMAP Mail message activity which iterates the each mail.
→ Inside for each insert the Save attachments activity to save the attachment in the mails in a folder.
→ Give the Path of the folder where you want to save the file in Folder path option in properties of Save attachments activity.

Check the below workflow for better understanding,

Hope it helps!!

Are you retrieving the mails from Gmail or Outlook… @abivanth.r

[Zidan_Mohamed]

In the save attachments properties you have a filter option. Provide filter as a string “.pdf” .

Retrieving the mails from Outlook…

If you confirm it then we can plan to use Outlook activities.
