Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi

 

I was trying to automate an sample task in the below step,

  1. Receive email from specific Sender and specific Subject line [Done]
  2. Extract all URL from the email body
  3. Create new excel file in OneDrive
  4. Update the extracted URL in the excel

I'm not sure whether pointer 2 is possible, but I believe "expression" feature can enable the same

    Hi!

    You can use 'Convert HTML to text' action block and then use WDL expressions

    Depending on the body structure, you will need one combination of expressions or other.

    Here you are an example

    Hope this helps

    Hi @efialttes 

     

    Thanks for introducing me to WDL expression.

     

    Does WDL expression support replace, find, looping, storing result in list variable ?

    Hi!

    Official documentation for WDL based expressions here. replace() is one of them:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference

     

    If you are looking for loops, there are several action blocks: Apply to ech, Do Until, Select, Filter Array

    You can combine loop-based action blocks and WDL based expressions

    Hope this helps
