Posted on by vandam2

hello Gang, using the attached workflow i can't get the subject line as an option in the dynamic content

I would like to initiate a variable for the subject line and then be able to use substring to extract

Hoping to extract the 780449HDCT and the date 20230821 from the subject line - 780449HDCT_ServReq_1-549147422411_20230821

Hi @vandam2 ,

Yes, your Subject is going to be dynamic content from your Trigger. You may need to search for it but it will be there.

Understood. What are your dynamic options from this trigger? There must be some value that we can use.

Understood. Add 1 and then 2. before we try to capture the individual values. These two right after your trigger.

So strange because i still don't see the option to pull the subject, shouldn't i be able to just initiate a variable for 'Subject' ?
