Hi @irahmat

You can try this-

  1. Create a rule in Outlook that automatically forwards emails containing the link to a specific email address. This email address will be used as a trigger for the UiPath job.
  2. Then use the “Get Outlook Mail Messages” activity to retrieve the email containing the link.
  3. Use the “Get IMAP Mail Message” activity to extract the body of the email. Then, use regular expressions or string manipulation to extract the link from the body.
  4. Trigger the UiPath job: Use the extracted link as a parameter to trigger the UiPath job using the “Start Job” activity in UiPath.

Thanks!
