Using dictionary variable for email properties
When you automate an email-related task, RPA Workspace retrieves various properties of an email and stores the values of these properties in a dictionary variable. These properties are stored in a dictionary variable when you use an email action within a loop action.
- emailSubject
- emailFrom
- emailTo
- emailCc
- emailBcc
- emailMessage
- emailReceivedTime
- emailReceivedDate
- emailSentTime
- emailSentDate
The system automatically associates the properties of an email with the appropriate dictionary
keys. You can use the values stored in these dictionary keys in another task, store
them in a database, or for any other purpose. These keys are available in the system
and you must use them as specified above. For example, if you have created a
dictionary variable 'Test' and want to display the subject and sender of an email in
a message prompt, you must enter Test{emailSubject} and
Test{emailFrom} in the appropriate fields.
If you press F2 to use a variable in a field, you must select Test from the
Choose a variable list and enter
emailSubject in the Dictionary key field
in the Insert a variable dialog box to store the subject of
an email in that field. Similarly, you can enter emailFrom in the
Dictionary key field to use the email address of the
sender of an email in a field.
