Subject Filter

Posted on 9 Apr 2020 14:53:25 by Towaiji 68

Hello there

 

I'm trying to automate when new email arrives from my scanner.

 

How can I tell the subject filter to work only when this specific word arrives by itself

 

Lets say if i put "daily" in the subject filter and another automation that has "daily report"

 

What's happening right now is that when I receive the "daily" one its triggering both automations

    Hi @Towaiji ,

     

    You could configure trigger conditions to filter emails.

    Hi!

    My suggestion is to use two condition rules

     

    contains(triggerBody()?['Subject'],'daily')

    and

    not(contains(triggerBody()?['Subject'],'daily report'))

     

    Hope this helps, take care and keep healthy!

    In other words, how can I make the subject filter look for exact match only
