Get Received Mails using Some specific part of Subject

AbhijitPatil — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 06:59:00 GMT

Hi,
I am using get received mails in Microsoft outlook VBO.
I want to retrieve mails using subject line, but not with whole line.
I need to retrieve with some specific part of that subject line. When I use some of the part then it is showing item count zero.
what should be the correct expression for that?
Can I use wildcard? if yes then how?

Format of subject line : "Abhijit - xyz-123456-12162021-0001.xls"
Need to retrieve with: "xyz-123456" or "123456 only"

------------------------------
Thank You,
Abhijit Patil

Hi Abhijit,

You can retrive mails using specific part of subject line. Try using wildcards like "*xyz-12345*"

Thanks,
Joshna

Hi @JoshnaDammala,
Thanks for the reply.
It is working fine.
But actually xyz is a data item and 12345 is also different data item.
when I used data item, it is showing zero count and when using above format it is working fine.
Could you please suggest how to do with data item.

Thank you

Please check the expression once that you are using in your subject parameter for the action: "Get Received Items (Basic)"
