Hi All,

 

I'm trying to extract from Email Subject: Q3 FY20 Quarterly Lease Request due EOD Monday, June 8th.

 

I used this expression to extract Q3 FY20: substring(triggerBody()?['subject'],0,7)

But how do I extract the date at the end of the Email Subject? (anything after the comma).

 

Thanks!

    Hi @SheilaMullane 

    Try - substring(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'],add(lastIndexOf(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'],','),2))
