@guptasweb

You can use Get Outlook Mail Message activity to read the mail and then use Save Attachments activity to save the mail Attachments. For sending mail, use Send Outlook Mail Message activity.

Note: To work with Outlook, Robot machine should have Outlook application and it should be running while Bot is executing.

@guptasweb

You can use Send Outlook Mail Message activity and attach the report path to send it.

You can prepare the report by your own or can write the script in uipath to create the report and then attach it as the attachment while sending that report.

Hey @guptasweb

You need to filter the top email with your Search Criteria

Search criteria can be a subject, received date and any other identifiers.

So basically in your case it’s the received date and subject which will help you to get the today’s email with specific report email subject.

This looks like you need to enter some data into a website which will give you a table result data and that should be extracted as table using UiPath Data Scraping.

I can’t guess here exactly. We need to see the PDD document or the screenshots if you have any.

But basically it’s just the step you will need to perform.
