Parsing Email Body

Posted on by shelleyb 193

Hello,

 

Found this great article to parse an email body, which has helped me complete the majority of my flow. On the sections where there is large amount of text the following error message appears:-

How would I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi @shelleyb 

     

    The error says Additional Comments length is 255 but the string you trying to set is 574. Could you post a screenshot of your flow?

     

    Thanks

    trim(Split(Split(body('Html_to_text'), 'Additional Comments')[1], 'Sign off')[0])

    Hi @shelleyb 

     

    Check the 'Additional Comments' fields length in Sharepoint?

     

    Thanks

    Hi @shelleyb 

     

    You could increase the length or change it to multi-line text?
