Hi everyone,
I am a new UiPath user, i want to get email content and put them into variables.
For example check if email contains the word “test” and count them .
Is it Possible?
Thank you for your help

Of course!
Do you want to check whether email body or subject contains given word?

Use Get Outlook Mail Messages activity for example, output it to the variable : list of mail messages. Then check for all of the items in the list with For Each activity if:
For each mail in MailList:
If ( mail.Subject.Contains(“test”) Or mail.Body.Contains(“test”) ) → count = count + 1.

Reply me, if you need more explanation, screens or simple workflow to see

Regards,
Olga
