Fixes
The Save all attachments action no longer returns session-related errors incorrectly when an invalid folder path is provided as it now validates the path and displays an appropriate path-related error message.
If the Overwrite option is enabled when you use the Save email action within Gmail iterator, any runtime errors are now handled correctly even if the corresponding file is open.
When you use the Save email action within Gmail iterator, it no longer fails if the email subject contains a period (.) character, and the action now correctly supports periods and other operating system allowed characters in filenames.
The Move email action that you use within Gmail iterator now validates the destination label and displays an appropriate error if the label does not exist.
The help text for the Source labels field in the Move email action are now updated to clarify that semicolon (;) is also supported as a separator for specifying multiple labels.
The status of the emails are now correctly updated for the Change status action within Gmail iterator.
The Reply email action now validates the email address format and displays an appropriate error message for any invalid email IDs.
Attachment file paths are now validated correctly for the Reply email action that is used within Gmail iterator, and an appropriate error is displayed when the specified file is not available.
After updating to this version, multiple recipients or labels (including those separated by commas) are now processed successfully and the emails are sent correctly to all the intended recipients.

1.0.2

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 22.240.34 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 45892 or later
Whats new
Introducing the Gmail package
This release introduces the Gmail package that enables you to automate various tasks in your Gmail mailbox. This package has the following actions:
Introducing the Check if label exists condition

Check if label exists condition is now available in the If package that you can use to verify specific labels in your Gmail mailbox.

If package | Check if label exists

Limitations
When you use the Save email action within Gmail iterator and the target file is open, the action does not encounter an error if the Overwrite option is selected. As a result, the action might not complete as expected, and no error is surfaced to indicate the conflict.

Workaround: Ensure that the target file is closed before running automations that use the Save email action with the Overwrite option enabled.

When you use the Save email action within Gmail iterator to save an email in which the subject contains a period (.) character, the action displays an error and the email is not saved.

Workaround: Before saving, modify the email subject or specify a custom file name that does not include a period.

When you use the Move email action within Gmail iterator with a valid source label and a non-existent destination label, the action completes without any error to indicate that the destination label is invalid.

Workaround: Before running the Move email action, verify that the destination label exists in the Gmail account.

In the Move email action, the help text for the Source labels field does not indicate that semicolon (;) is also supported as a separator between multiple labels.
When you use a filter condition in the Gmail package, emails that must match the filter are not processed, and their status is not updated. Gmail search uses exact token (word) matching. Queries (for example subject:2345) only match standalone values and do not return results where the value appears within a larger string (such as 12345testing). This behavior is inherent to the Gmail API and cannot be overridden.
When you use an action to change the status of an email within Gmail iterator, the status of the email does not update in the Gmail account.

Workaround: Perform the status change outside the Gmail iterator by retrieving the relevant email identifiers within the loop and then apply the status change in a separate action after the loop completes.

When you use the Reply action with an invalid recipient email address, the action fails with a session-related error message that does not accurately reflect the cause of the failure.

Workaround: Validate recipient email addresses before passing them to the Reply action.

In the Reply action, if you specify a non-existent file as an attachment, the action fails with a session-related error message that does not accurately reflect the cause of the failure.

Workaround: Verify that the attachment file exists before passing it to the Reply action.

When you use the Reply action within a Gmail iterator and provide multiple labels as input, the action does not send the reply to the recipient list.

Workaround: Use a single label per iteration when configuring the Reply action within a Gmail iterator.
