How to read an email from specific emailID and mark as read

[PALKUMARI_PATEL]

I able to get it through for each row but that will not mark as read that particular Email ID. I want to read only that email and save the attachment and mark as read.

Hi @PALKUMARI_PATEL

Use the Mark Email as read/Unread activity to mark the mail as required.

Hope it helps!!

@mk @Anil_G @argin.lerit I know the option to mark as read but my question is how can I read email from particular email id ? I am unable to filter the get outlook via email id.

[Anil_G (Anil Gorthi)]

@PALKUMARI_PATEL

Try this

“contains(from/emailAddress/address, ‘EmailID’)”

Or

"from/emailAddress/address Eq 'EmailId'"

Cheers

But how this will mark as read only that email ?

[Anil_G (Anil Gorthi)]

@PALKUMARI_PATEL

This will filter on email id so only those emails are retrieved…and when only those are retrieved…only those emails would be marked as read

Cheers

[PALKUMARI_PATEL]

Ok, let me try.

[argin.lerit]

@PALKUMARI_PATEL

Are you using Headers("UID") or Headers("Message-ID") for the email ID?

The attached XAML uses the Headers("Message-ID") property and accomplishes the task.

Make sure to change the value in these fields:

MarkEmailAsReadById.xaml (7.0 KB)

Thanks!!

@Anil_G

“contains(from/emailAddress/address, ‘EmailID’)”

Getting below error.
Get Outlook Mail Messages: Expression Activity type ‘VisualBasicValue`1’ requires compilation in order to run. Please ensure that the workflow has been compiled.

Filter by message id giving me 0 value. What is the right thing to put there ? Email Id in the filterby messageid ?

[argin.lerit]

When you read all the emails, try to WriteLine their Message-ID like this:

You will see something like this:

It looks like an email address format but that is the Headers(“Message-ID”) of the email.

See if the Message-ID is unique enough for your use-case.

Hope it works for you. Thanks!

[PALKUMARI_PATEL]

Ok, So, I have to check first the messageid for that email and check if it is same every time ? If it is then I can use it in filterbymessageid for that email ? Correct me If I am wrong here.

@PALKUMARI_PATEL

You copied exactly i guess please remove single and souble quotes and re add in the code

Cheers

[argin.lerit]

That is correct. How were you getting the ID before?

Thanks

[PALKUMARI_PATEL]

@Anil_G

“contains(from/emailAddress/address, ‘EmailID’)”

It says condition is not valid.

[Anil_G (Anil Gorthi)]

@PALKUMARI_PATEL

Instead if contains can you please try with equals

I believe fromadress might not support contains

"from/emailAddress/address eq 'someone@company.com'"

And I hope you are using this in filter

Cheers

[PALKUMARI_PATEL]

After @ se4ction is remains same but the starting integers are changing every time for particular emailid . so does that work in my case ?

[argin.lerit]

Wait, do you mean “email address” and not “email ID”? I’m confused because @Anil_G is giving email address related suggestions.
