File Email based on Subject into SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LJS 4

Hi All,

 

I am new to Power Automate functionality.

I need some expert guidance and help.

 

I am looking to do up an automated email filing system into Sharepoint.

Incoming emails go into shared mailbox > Subject of emails will contain project name '20201111', could be in the front or the back or middle. > Retrieve the project name > export out the email > store it into SharePoint under Project 20201111.

 

I managed to get the exporting of email and store in SharePoint working.

How do I search for the project name in the subject then store it into SharePoint?

 

Thanks in Advance!

    The expression I used above is as follows:

     

    first(split(last(split(outputs('Compose'),'[')),']'))
     
     
    Thanks

    Hi @abm 

     

    Thanks for the advise, it will be [20201111] .

    The project code will always be 8 digits.

    Hi @LJS

     

    You need to follow some standard in your subject line such as project name with single quotes around it.

     

    Project name '20201111'

     

    If you don't follow any standard and relies on numeric values only to obtain the project name then you need to check every single character and find whether its numeric or not. So to achieve this you need to do lots of string manipulations and comparisons.

     

    For the above single quotes standard you could use a split expression to get the values.

     

    Thanks
