[skg_161125 (SG_161125)]

I am stuck with a scenario where I need to add filters in Get Mail activity for multiple senders and Sender email address are in Config file.

My current filter is from/emailAddress/address eq ‘xyz@domain.com’ which is returning unread email count. However if I Change the above filter to read email for multiple sender from config file below filter is not working for example:

from/emailAddress/address eq ‘“+Config(“TesteMailFrom”).ToString+”’"
or
contains(from/emailAddress/address,‘“+Config(“TesteMailFrom”).ToString+”’"

Can you help?

Hey @skg_161125

You are sure that the hard-coded value worked right ?

Also please print the config value once before executing the condition to make sure there is no errors.

Thanks

yes, even when I have only one email address in config variable using from/emailAddress/address eq ‘“+Config(“TesteMailFrom”).ToString+”’" filter, I can read the emails but If I have multiple email address to read emails from, above filter doesnt return any email count.

Did you please print the above in a log message?

[skg_161125 (SG_161125)]

In log message I see 2 email addresses in Config(“TesteMailFrom”).ToString.

[Nithinkrishna]

Sorry 2 email messages meaning ?

[skg_161125 (SG_161125)]

i meant address, updated the above previous reply.

[Nithinkrishna]

You are saying it is printing 2 email ids right ?

[skg_161125 (SG_161125)]

Correct, it is printing 2 email IDs. However having Config(“TesteMailFrom”).ToString in the Get Email query to read email from. It is returning 0 emails. I have 2 unread emails in the inbox from each of the email ID.

[Nithinkrishna]

As you said since it’s printing 2 that’s d issue.

[skg_161125 (SG_161125)]

but that is the requirement…email can come from any one of email ID and based on email from only those 2 email ID, my process should proceed.

[Nithinkrishna]

Cool, please try with one email first and confirm whether it’s working.
