I’m working on developing a UiPath robot that needs to process incoming emails with attachments, extract information from them, and use it in an automated workflow. I’d like to know the best way to:
Trigger the robot when an email is received (for example, using “Outlook Mail Trigger” or another method).
Retrieve and loop through emails to check for attachments.
Extract information from the attachments and process it.
I’m open to any suggestions on best practices and which UiPath tools/activities are best suited for this task.
Hi @Soudios please below steps : 1.Use get outlook activity to retrieve emails, either filtered by date, subject, or unread status.
Store the emails in a List variable.
2.Use a For Each loop to iterate through the list of emails retrieved.
Inside the loop, check whether the email contains attachments using the mail.Attachments.Count property.
3.check if email has attachment and Use the Save Attachments activity to store attachments in a specific folder. You can specify a directory to save files, either temporarily or for future use.
4.use regex or string manipulation to extract the relevant information.
i need to create if you have data then send me i will create workflow or you can try steps i have mentioned will try to resolve if you facing any issue
You can use integration service and use Microsoft Outlook 365 connector to build a connection. Next, you need to create a trigger based on your requirement. It will help you run the job as soon as an intended email is received.
For other tasks, you may use outlook activities to retrieve email, save attachments and string manipulation can be utilized for extracting needed information.
Hi @Soudios email trigger is not working I tried in flowchart and state machine both this activity should execute in first before process start in am attaching workflow for your reference as i have workaround i hope that will solve your issue
