How to read an email(outlook) without spying in Blue Prism

Question

Blue Prism: I'm trying to read an email(outlook), Which contains the information about the status of a task, name and a table with multiple headers. I should save the required information like name, the status of the task in Excel under the headers which were already written. It should all happen dynamically without spying the elements. Can anybody please elaborate on the process?

Answer 1

In my experience, there are two ways to this without spying

• First is by using the MAPIEx object for a back-end connection to your Outlook profile's mailbox.
• second is applicable on versions 6.3 and above, you can use the bundled Blue Prism provided MS Outlook VBO which comes with various functionalities.
