[burcine]

Hi everyone,

I need to automate a process where I receive an email that has another email attached to it. The attached email contains PDF files that I need to extract.I want to add to queue pdf file path .Please help me how can handle this scenario.

Here is a detailed breakdown of what I am trying to achieve:

1. Open the Main Email: Use UiPath to read the main email.
2. Save the Attached Email: Save the email that is attached within the main email.
3. Open the Attached Email: Read the saved attached email.
4. Extract Attachments from the Attached Email: Download the PDF files from the attached email.

@burcine

use get outlook to get the mail. then save the attachment(.msg) from the email then use vb script to extract pdf from the.msg email

something like this

later you can use add queue items to add filepath to queue

Read a .msg file and save attachement

This simple vbs should work fine, you could even pass the arguments in the Start Process activity. Dim OlApp Dim Eml Dim Arg Set Arg = WScript.Arguments Dim File File = Arg(0) Set OlApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”) Set Eml = OlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(File) Download(Eml) Sub Download(objEml) For Each Attch In objEml.Attachments Attch.SaveAsFile "C:\temp\" & Attch.FileName Next End Sub [image]
