Hello, would appreciate your assistance to advise if feasible to create a condition that

is searching for a specific string within a pdf attachment and depending on it, either

delete the email from outlook, if condition is met, or forward it to a specific address

if it is not met.

 

Using Outlook 365

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi @apa006,

     

    There is free action could extract the PDF text.

    The is an action with free times limit named Get PDF Text Layer, it is an action within Encodian connector:

    https://support.encodian.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360015539373-Get-PDF-Text-Layer

    If possible, you could use this action to extract text from the PDF file, then use contains() function to find the specific text string, if it exists, it will return true.
