Power Automate_ Folder naming

Posted on by 4

Hello,
I am trying to build a flow that can auto-save my Outlook emails, the flow should look for the emails that Contain ABC in the subject and retrieve them.
for example :
if the email subject has ABC the email should be retrieved.

the flow should create a folder for the retrieved email.
for example:
if the subject contains ABC-0123 the folder name should be ABC-0123.

 

 

I am facing the issue when the emails are retrieved and the folders are created, the names of these folders have only 3 digits after ABC- and it should be 4. If someone can direct me to where is the mistake to fix it I would appreciate that.

    Hi,
     
    It seems like you're trying to use a GetSubText action, but since I don't have visibility into the Email subject, it's difficult to pinpoint where the issue lies.
    I recommend checking the output from the GetSubText action to ensure that you're getting the correct substring, and adjusting the length accordingly.
     
    If the issue persists, please share the actual subject you're receiving so we can provide more suggestions for a solution.

    Thanks for providing the screenshots, the setup looks good, but I'm not sure what outputs you are you getting, if you can provide the outputs that will be helpful in identifying the issue
