Hi Niklas,
First, welcome to Blue Prism and good luck! Secondly, if I understand your post correctly, you're struggling to complete the values on the input and output sides of the action stage where you call the canned code. If that's the case, I recommend using the object definition to help you. If you look in the action stage just to the right of where you select the business object, there's a letter i in a blue circle (screenshot below). If you click that and wait a few seconds, an IE window will open which should describe all the actions in that object and the inputs and outputs. This assumes the developer entered that data correctly when writing the code, but typically for the BP canned objects there's something there. Scroll to the ones you need and read all about what the inputs and outputs should be. (Note - this is a great thing to keep in mind when you create your own objects - make sure to fill in all those definition fields to help the next developer use your code.)
If that doesn't work for you or give you enough information, try different test values that you think look right. Just type the text directly into the fields (don't forget the quotes!) and run a few tests to see what you get back. Eventually you'll find a combination of inputs that works to get the data you need. Remember, though, every situation is unique - sometimes you'll need sender name, sometimes that won't work. Sometimes the sender email address isn't what you see on the screen in outlook or it varies if the sender is using AWS or another cloud service for mail delivery. Unfortunately these are all complications that you just have to work through - there's no one set of parameters that works for every situation.
I hope this helps and again, good luck!
