Hi,

 

I'm a newbie to Power Automate Desktop, so would appreciate any help.

 

I'm trying to automate a task and have tried using the recorder but every time I run it just fails. Please see the steps below of what im trying to automate.

 

Step 1:

 

Emails come into folder titled Survey Complete and i need to extract two things the date of when the email was received and the customer order ID e.g XXX-SSE-2147

Step 2:

 

I then need it to type and enter the customer order ID in the red box below and click go

step 3:

 

Then click on the box circled below

Step 4:

 

Once the page has loaded I then need it to click on the box highlighted in the red circle

Step 5:

 

I then need it to enter in the date that the email was received in the "Supplier Survey Completion" box below but it must be in the format of dd-MMM-yyyy as highlighted in the box to the left. Once the date has been entered I then need it to click "apply changes"

Step 6:

 

Once the date has been recorded I then need the automation to archive/move the email to a folder called "Wholesale Actioned Complete"

 

Also i need this automation to loop/process any email that is in the same folder 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

 

Scott
