Hi All,

I am not allowed to use Marketplace activities. Is there another way to fetch internet headers from outlook mail?

Welcome to the community.

You want to receive data with internet extension in the mails, is it correct?

Hi @muhammedyuzuak

There is already a solution but it involves library from Marketplace. As I mentioned, I am not allowed to use that. Looking for a workaround. Thanks!

I don’t know if this is the best solution.

For each header you get, check for links using regex and extract it.

Hello, I need to extract a URL from an email. I’m using the matches function. There are three links in the e-mail, and I need to extract the middle one: https://my.pitchbook.com/?asOfDate=2018-03-30&alert=true&pbr=16011274&tag=VIEW_ALL&tagPos=TOP https://my.pitchbook.com/?asOfDate=2018-03-30&alert=true&searchId=16011274&showSearch=i&tag=MODIFY&tagPos=TOP https://my.pitchbook.com/?tag=INLINE%3AALL&tagPos=INDIVIDUAL&changeType=DEAL&alert=true&asOfDate=2018-03-30&c=222835-24&searchId=16011274 …

The issue is to extract internet headers(diff from mail headers). Unfortunately, that’s not the solution.

Hi Rahul,

I have seen this post. That’s what i am looking for. Convert mailmessage to mailitem without custom activity as I am not allowed to use that.

@Rahul_Unnikrishnan @muhammedyuzuak Thankyou both for your time.

Issue is resolved now as I was able to write vb.net code for the entire piece.

The code fetches mail item as per Message ID and extracts Internet Headers from it.

Hi @miglani18 ,

It would be better if you could provide the solution that you have used, so that it would be helpful for others having the similar kind of problems.

You could also close this topic by marking it as the solution.
