Hi @VAZQUEZ_SOSA_LUIS_ALBERTO

loop the get outlook mail messages activity to for-each activity and set type argument System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

use if activity to filter like item.Subject.Equals("G978787")

inside the if activity use save attachments to save files
please refer the blow image for better understanding

Then you have to get all the emails. Loop through them and check the filename of the PDF attachment.

Hi @VAZQUEZ_SOSA_LUIS_ALBERTO

Array_variable=Directory.getfiles(“your pdf file folder peth”)
Pass the array variable to for each
Path.getfilename(item) - returns the file name
Use if activity to check your desired file name like
Path.getfilenamr(item).equals(“your desired file name”)

Or. Else

You can use for each files in folder

Hope it solves your issue

Thanks

There is no file. You’re using the Outlook activities to get the email directly from Outlook into a variable. That object then has various properties, one of which is the attachments you can loop through, and the attachments have properties also.
