I am building a Flow with Outlook as the trigger - i need to grab the subject and remove part of it.
the email subject will be somehting like "SM Trigger :123" and it will always start with "SM Trigger:". I need to use the bit after (in this case 123) as the file name to save it.
any help on how to grab just the bit after the ":" (e.g. 123) would be much appreciated
I'm thinking either a last(split( or replace( but i cant quite figure it out.
thanks
Stephen
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @StephenM,
Please take the following flow configuration for a reference.
I used actions initialize variable and Set variable in the flow.
The function used in the Compose action is:
split(triggerBody()?['Subject'],':')
The function used in the Set variable action is:
outputs('Compose')?[1]
When a new email with the subject “SM Trigger: test123”arrives, the flow works fine and it returns “test123” after the “:”, please check the following screenshot:
Best regards,
Mabel Mao
