Hi @ManjunathReddy You can use the “Get Transaction Item” activity to retrieve an item from a queue, the output variable (`transactionItem` ) contains information about the retrieved queue item. `transactionItem.Reference` can be used to access the reference of the queue item as a string. If you get the queue reference & assign it to a variable you can use else if condition like this to run different flows > QueueName.Contains(“\_PROD”) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/1/3/7/137a2adaac55410e3a1b37e57fa446d4c034f627.png) Hope this helps 🙂 ---

Use the get transaction item activity. Select the right Folder path & Queue name then assign Output to TransactionItem variable then to read the Queue reference you can use > TransactionItem.Reference ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/f/c/e/fceff8253c0fcc22e9caea7ca6e0b92d5471b613.png) ---

Hello @ManjunathReddy , Try This ```auto TransactionItem.Reference -----> Reference of the specific queue will be printed here ``` Using If Condition you can separate the Queue based on Queue reference. ```auto TransactionItem.Reference.ToLower.Trim.Contains(facebook_prod) TransactionItem.Reference.ToLower.Trim.Contains(facebook_uat) TransactionItem.Reference.ToLower.Trim.Contains(facebook_sit) ``` ---

Hi @ManjunathReddy Use Get Transaction Item activity (Output=TransactionItem) Use Assign Activity QueueRefrence= TransactionItem.Reference.ToString For the further use To extract the last word before underscore , you can split the string by underscores and take the last part. LastWord = queueReference.Split("\_"c).Last() Switch activity on LastWord variable Case “PROD”: // Sequence for Production environment Case “UAT”: // Sequence for UAT environment Case “SIT”: // Sequence for SIT environment Default: // Sequence if environment is none of the above or not recognized Hope this helps ---

@ManjunathReddy You can simply use a switch activity And give this in expression `TransactionItem.Reference.Split("_"c)(2)` And PROD,UAT and SIT as 3 cases Cheers ---
