I'm using gmail account to extract the data, from the body of the mail and I want to store that data in a word/excel folder.
Can someone explain the process to achieve this?
The email body would be like this:
Hello!
First name
John
Last name
Doe
Email
sample#gmail.com
Message
Text
You can read the email using the Get IMAP Mail Message activity and get the Body of Email in a Text then you can use the String manipulation/regex to find the required text and then store it in Excel/Word.
You may need to keep the following things in mind.
You will need to create an App Password by going to your Google Account Settings (https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords) and use that Password in the Get Mail Message Activity.
To Get the Email Body the EmailMessage.Body property will not work instead you will need to use the EmailMessage.Headers("PlainText") Here EmailMessage is the Each Email Message from the list of Message. Here is the screenshot.
Above If condition is used to check if the Subject of Email which we want to read.
Once you get the Email Body in a String Variable you can use either String Manipulation or Regex to extract the required data from the body of the email and write to the excel or word.
Hope this helps.

i have are requirement to read email attachments. Extract data from the excel sheet attached in the email and query dynamodb. AWS documentation suggests we can easy ready the email body but does not provide a example to read email attachments.
After some research we found the solution. You get a message id to get the original message. You can extract the attachments from original message by converting the original message into string and get the exact attachment details in content after "Content-Description: Extract File". Attachments are obtained in base64 and then can be processed.
I need to access the source of an email body through PowerAutomate. Unfortunately the standard HTML to Text - Body solution doesn't work as the emails I want to watch have an embedded link to our ERP (Coupa) and I only get this:
[https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.coupa.com__;!!longstring]
When checking the source of the email body (or actually opening the email), the string I'm looking for is there but Google failed me on how to actually get the source of an email instead of the above conversion.

Using Compose - Body instead of HTLM to Text gets the source of the email body.
Is there a way to stop a flow emailv2 from adding a line break when I bring in the string value of a SharePoint multi line column? It keeps adding a line break on top and below the text, which is making the email format look weird.
For example below, I want the Please help me reset my password to be in the same line with the Request Description text.
Current Email Output
This is an automatic email notification
Request Description:
Please help me reset my password
Completed by: John Doe
Desired Email Output
This is an automatic email notification
Request Description: Please help me reset my password
Completed by: John Doe
Use a Compose action to stitch together the bold text and the SharePoint plain text multiline field.
Then use the Output from the Compose action in the email body.
Here is the scenario in my test:
Flow definition:
the HTML view of the email:
Email arriving in Outlook:
You could also compose the whole HTML for the email body in one fell swoop in the compose action and just throw that into the email body.
I'm trying to send an email to multiple people(multiple to addresses) and have them all listed in the email clients like a regular email. When I set the header_to field on all recipients to email1#foo.com, email2#foo.com I end up with emails that have a to header set to "First Name" <email1#foo.com, email2#foo.com> which is incorrect.
This shows up as a single person with multiple email addresses in most clients and the header is wrong.
Why is the sparkpost transmission api messing with the header_to field? It's docs say that it uses this in place of generating a To header for you.
After going through every page of docs I could find to try and figure out how sparkpost's backend works I've found that you must omit the Name field on all recipients.

I'm using the default net/pop class in order to fetch emails from a specific email account. From each message, I need to read all attachments and extract some data from them. But I can't find any way to achieve that! Seems like the POPMail class doesn't have a specific method to get the message's attachments.
