I need to download an email that was sent using the Send Email activity using connections. My current method is to wait a few seconds, retrieve the newest email and then download. I would like to know if the Send Email activity returns the email ID that can be referenced in the download or get email by id activities.

Hi @lhollingsworth

Any reason behind Downloading the same mail that is being sent?

Yes, the email is being sent by a shared box and stored in a ticket system.

Hi,

There is no output for the send email activity, so you can use the Get Emails activity once you send the email so, that It can extract the new emails, ofcourse delay will also works in this case

Hope this may help you

Cheers,

The Send Email activity in UiPath does not directly return the email ID of the sent email. However, you can achieve your goal by using a combination of activities>
Send Email with Unique Identifier :
Retrieve the Email:

  • Use the Get Mail activity to retrieve emails from the mailbox.
