Background, using UI flow desktop to approve the request.
process, a open the request email--> b click the approve button, --> c new email generated, --> d type approve -->e send the email.
now, have issue with select the newly generated email, due to everytime the email has a unique email name, could we use wildcard character to replace the email name:
one example below, Red part is the new email name, it will be changed everytime

Hi TG11,
I'm sorry, I don't know how to achive that.
But maybe we could auotmate your flow completly. I guess the HTML of the mail looks something like this.
Share
Report
All responses (
Answers (
<a href="mailto:test@example.com?subject=randomnumber">Approve Button</a>
And then you could use WDL function according to here.

Thanks very much for your reply.
i dont want to replace the subject. i will explain it more detaily
a open the request email--> b click the approve button in this request email, --> c "the click button" action will open a new email with a random email subject line, --> d i need to type approve in the new email body part -->e send out this new email with random email subject line.
issue here is , the random name change everytime for every new request email, hence, UI flow not able to select at Step d and e. error message is "item can not be found"
so, may question, could i use wildcard option to let UI flow able to select the newly open the email
thanks.

Hi TG11,
I don't know if I understand you correctly but if you want to just replace the subject or e-mail address you could use inputs like this:

What do you mean with click the approve button? Is it a button in the Mail?
Maybe you could automate the whole process with a nomral "flow"?
