A We get an email with a pdf, download pdf, extract email address inside pdf, send email to said email address
B we get an email with hyperlink, extract email address from hyperlink, send email to said email address
We want to solve for A and B. I received the following feedback. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
--------------------
1. Using only Desktop Flow if you don't have a paid version or don't want to go with it:
1.1 You will have to design a watchdog process that keeps checking for new emails every few minutes/hours depending on your requirements.
1.2 If an email with matching criteria is found then with the help of Launch Outlook and Retrieve email messages from Outlook actions (assuming you are using Outlook, else use the other Email actions) get the body of the email.
1.3 The retrieved emails will give the body of the desired email which will have your website link.
With the help of Recognise entities action (choose URL in dropdown) it will extract the website url
1.4 Launch the extract URL. Priorly you need to have an UI element for the email field of that Resume. Then using Get details of element on web page you can access this UI element and can read the email address. Or you can also use Extract data from webpage.
If the different Resumes containing the email id is not consistent then you might have to use string functions of better a RegEx (regular expression) to extract the email address.
2. Using Cloud Flow and Desktop Flow if you already have a paid version or can go with it:
2.1 The Cloud Flows Outlook connector has a prebuilt trigger called "When an email arrives". With the help of this your Cloud Flow will kick in as soon as an email arrives.
2.2 Use cloud flows itself to get the body of the email, read the website name.
2.3 Then pass the website name to Desktop Flows using "Run a Desktop Flow (Premium)" connector
2.4 Once you are inside the Desktop Flow, use steps 1.4
2.5 Now you have the email address in step 2.4, pass it back to the Cloud Flows.
Input and Output parameters feature of Desktop Flows are used to accept and pass back values to the Cloud Flows and you will get videos and articles around that.
