Send keys to create new email message in Outlook

[Anonymous]

Hi, I've tried to create new email message in Outlook through "^(N)" value, but I've got entirely different window than standard window in Outlook for new message. When I try to manually push the combination of send keys Ctrl + N I have the standard window of new message. Unfortunatelly when the Blue Prism choose this combination it doesn't work. Then I have a yellow window that looks like sticky note, something similar. What can be a reason? P.K.

Hi, Thank you for your answer. I have one more question. Is it possible to send an email through spying elements in Outlook application? Thanks.

P.K Sure you can spy the Outlook application as you would any other. Not sure why you would want to though? - Tom

Can you not use MAPIEx? or SMTP?

Using MapieX is the best way to create a new mail and send it. If you still want to use the other methods, then I think a good option for creating and sending new emails would be to use the pre-defined Email VBO if you can gets hand on the POP3/SMTP settings. Else, spying Oultook is an optiopn as well.

Is there an pre-defined outlook VBO?

[ShreyansNahar]

Yes, there are 2 options for that: 1. Email-POP3/SMTP object and 2. Blue Prism MapieX object Both have the basic functionality of Outlook.

Thanks Shreyans, I tried to use the MapieX object and send 3 parameters - To, Subject and Message. I am getting error Failure in Send Mail function of Blue Prism Extended MAPI Automation. Failed to adding BCC From the section of the code: For iRecipientElement = LBound(aRecipients) To UBound(aRecipients) If aRecipients(iRecipientElement) """" Then If Not mapiMessage.AddRecipient(aRecipients(iRecipientElement), mapiMessage.RecipientType.TO) Then Error_Message = ""Failure in Send Mail function of Blue Prism Extended MAPI Automation. Failed to adding BCC "" & aRecipients(iRecipientElement) Success = False GoTo done End If End If Next In the To parameter - I am sending only one email id in the format abcd@xyz.com

Looks like I missed out the "";"" at the end of the mail-id. This solved the problem
