Hi, I am new to uipath and having this simple query. When I am filtering both subject and time in “Get outlook mail message” activity facing issues

You can find the below expression:-

" [Subject]= SUCCESS: " + subject and “[ReceivedTime] >= '”+ now.AddDays(-2).ToString(“D”) +“'”

Can you please help me out.
Thanks!

"[Subject] = ‘yourmailsubject’ AND [ReceivedTime] >= ’ " + now.AddDays(-2).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) + " ’ "

or

"[Subject] = ‘yourmailsubject’ AND [ReceivedTime] >= ’ " + now.AddDays(-2).ToShortDateString + " ’ "

This looks incomplete buddy
The expression should be like
"[Subject] = ‘SUCCESS:’ AND [ReceivedTime] >= ’ " + now.AddDays(-2).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) + " ’ "

Or may I know what subject we are trying consider here I mean the text we want to filter with

Cheers @Ramya12

You can try this to filter your Outlook emails by subject and date:

“[Subject] = ‘Success’ AND [ReceivedTime] >='”+Now.AddDays(-2).Date.ToShortDateString+“’ And [ReceivedTime] <= ‘”+Now.Date.ToShortDateString+“'”

Fine
kindly type the same expression freshly rather copy and paste,
i could see the double quotes are not taken up in date formatting “MM/dd/yyyy”

Kindly try once again by typing freshly the same expression and let know pls

No worries but, can you clarify your question? You want to filter your emails by the subject ‘SUCCESS: Blackrock4_to_Markit_PROD - for index_weights files’ and date, correct?

If the subject is static, use “[Subject] = ‘Your Subject’ AND [ReceivedTime] >=’”+Now.AddDays(-2).Date.ToShortDateString+"’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= ‘"+Now.Date.ToShortDateString+"’"

If the subject varies each time except for the ‘success’ part then, use “[Subject] LIKE ‘Success %’ AND [ReceivedTime] >=’”+Now.AddDays(-2).Date.ToShortDateString+"’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= ‘"+Now.Date.ToShortDateString+"’"

Hi @Palaniyappan and @monsieurrahul. This is what I am trying to achieve,

I want to retrieve all emails from past two days with a particular subject. My subject comprises of two parts where one is fixed and the other is variable. Below is a sample subject

SUCCESS: Blackrock4_to_Markit_PROD - for index_weights files

Here the bold part is constant and rest is variable whose value will be stored in a variable lets say subject. I tried below expression in get outlook mail however it is failing. It would really help me a lot if you can help me with right expression.

" [Subject]= SUCCESS: " + subject and “[ReceivedTime] >= '”+ now.AddDays(-2).ToString(“D”) +“’”

“[Subject] LIKE ‘Success %’ - this part of the filter is not working for me. But if i use like “@SQL=” + “”“” + “urn:schemas:httpmail:subject” + “”“” + " like ‘%“+S_EmailSearchFilter+”%’ it is working. My problem is i need to use the date filter along with this and for date filter [ReceivedTime] >=’”+Now.AddDays(-2).Date.ToShortDateString+"’ is the working pattern

16

If you use urn:schemas:httpmail:subject for the subject filter, than you you can use
urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived for the REceivedTime:

urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived >= ’”+Now.AddDays(-2).Date.ToShortDateString+"’

17

Change the order , first filter datereceived then check subject. EX : “@SQL=urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived >=‘start date’ AND urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived <=‘end date’ AND urn:schemas:httpmail:subject like ‘%Success%’”
