Hi,

  Use any get mail activity like get outlook mail message activity that i have used assign the output from get mail activity to a list<mailmessage> variable.

This is the workflow.
You need to configure the IMAP settings.

Do you have any fixed text in that mail body?If yes then you can go with post referred by @arivu96 and use indexof() and substring() to extract required text. @SHAISTA

@arivu96 @sreekanth
Please see in the screenshot i have attached.
The format of the mail will be fixed always.
The reply from the sender will always be approve or disapprove.
But in the mail which i have sent to the vendor, i have already mentioned “Please reply with approve or disapprove”
So if i am extracting the body data and applying if condition to check whether the reply is approve or not, the condition always comes true as UiPath fetches the whole email data including the data of the mail i sent.

Hi @SHAISTA,

After extracting the data split using environment.newline take the first line alone check the condition as approve or disapprove.

assign the body of the mail to mail.body(html)
then assign the same to mail.body(plaintext)

html is not declared inaccessible due to its protection level
