Filter Outlook Email: Get Emails for the last 30 days

Help
1

I have tried the filter in the UiPath Essentials Training - E-mail Automation 3.3 but it is giving me an error.

my Filter: “[ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.AddDays(-30).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) +“’”

Error:
Main has thrown an exception

Source: Get outlook mail messages

Message: Cannot parse condition. Error at “'05/05/2018’”.

Exception Type: COMException

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020009): Cannot parse condition. Error at “'05/05/2018’”.

Hi @criskitz,

Alter your filter statement to something like this,

“[ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.AddDays(-30).ToShortDateString+“’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= '”+now.ToString +“'”

It will get you last 30 days mails
