Hello all,

I am looking for a way to use Power Automate to read through the body of an email and pull out very specific text; then for it to generate a new email to a group of people. I have made this work when looking at the subject, the problem is, the subject doesn't tell the whole story so I need to look at the body instead. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Brian_price ,

Check out this article here

If your email template is standardised, it will be easier. Else, you will need to do some string manipulation to look for certain keywords.

I am rather new to this but it seems I am unable to edit the code. Even if I add all of the functions together, like in the example provided, it doesn't allow me to stack them like shown in the example. Any ideas here or am I missing some feature for editing?

Would you be able to post a screenshot of your flow?

For step 3, you simply have to hit the enter key in value. You don't edit in peek code.

It will then look like this in peek code
