How to extract data from a mail and forward it

[Sebastien1]

Hello,

I want to create a scenario that works as follows:

• monitor my incoming Office 365 emails and search for those with a certain subject line
• in the message found, search inside the body of the message for a value based on regex (X)
• make an HTML API request for the value X and retrieve the result Y
• transfer the initial email by adding the Y value to the body of the message.

Thank you

Sebastien

Welcome to the Make community!

That’s great! What’s currently stopping you from creating such a scenario?

Could you explain in further detail what your question is?

For more information on regex, see Text Parser in the Make Help Center:

Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp), which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.

• The complete list of metacharacters can be found on the MDN web docs website.
• For a tutorial on how to create regular expressions, we recommend the RegexOne website.
• For an easy, quick regex generator, try the Regular Expressions generator.
• For experimenting with regular expressions, we recommend the regular expressions 101 website. Just make sure to tick the ECMAScript (JavaScript) FLAVOR in the left panel.

Hope this helps!

@samliew thank you for your reply.

I’m well on the way in my scenario of the 4 modules you suggest.

What I can’t manage to do is the last step for

• forwarding the email find on the first module,
• and adding the result of the HTTP request in the subject or body of the message farwarded

1. Screenshots of module fields and filters

Please share screenshots of relevant module fields and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

2. Scenario blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mappings and settings. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

^{(Note: Exporting your scenario will not include private information or keys to your connections)}

Uploading it here will look like this:

blueprint.json (12.3 KB)

3. And most importantly, Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario, then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download output bundles”.

A.

Save the bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading it here will look like this:

bundle.txt (12.3 KB)

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted output bundle in this manner:

• Either add three backticks ``` before and after the code, like this:

  ```
  <sup>input/output bundle content goes here</sup>
  ```

• Or use the format code button in the editor:
  

Providing the output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!
