You can use HTML to text action to convert it to text format and then parse it using Substring function... See example below...

Hi Prasad,

 

Below is my scenario, 

Santhosh_V_26_0-1622619074362.png

 We're getting an email for every new high priority ticket. From that I need to extract data from the table present in the email and the need to create a new item in a share point list.

 

Ex: I had already created column in the list for all the values in the first column of the table present in the email like below,

Santhosh_V_26_1-1622619394709.png

So I need help for extracting all data from the table present in the email and put it into the SharePoint list including the current progress data.

 

Looking forward for help on this scenario 🙁

Thanks.

Did you check my response above? Did you try HTML to text approach?

Yes, I had tried html to text but afterwards I was unable to split the things as expected ☹️

Can you send me some of the text from HTML to Text output ?

Current Progress

User is not able to send emails from - Sender IP - 12.35.57.23 Sender email
address - abcf@drf.org

Checked Mailhost servers are working fine and issue seems to be happening from
application server end. Would suggest you to raise a Service request to get the
sender IP address (12.35.57.23) whitelisted on Mailhost servers. It appears
some connections from that address as being placed in the suspect list which
throttles the connection.

The mail is coming from a publicIP address - which we don't have these
set up to accept all the messages from.  At some point, that public Amazon IP
was listed as a suspect IP which limits the mail capabilities of the sending IP
through Mailhost. Getting IPO/Security to review the IP address and approve
white listing will avoid that throttling.

Asked user to raise a Service request to get the sender IP address whitelisted
on Mailhost servers and IPO needs to review why a public IP is attempting
to send mail - and if that is approved or not.

Keeping ticket in pending status while we discuss further with ETS to get this
P1 downgraded.

Hey Paul,

Thank you so much, Finally I got the Solution and Implemented Successfully 😊

Great news - well done!

@Paulie78 , Hope your are doing well!

 

As i have a similar kind of request with slight modification.

 

Our New scenario is need to capture the data from the table on the email body dynamically based on the no of data's .

Santhosh_V_26_0-1630682219204.png

Santhosh_V_26_1-1630684294915.png

For example, we have the data from excel as you can see in Pic1 and the same data is sent to an email, Pic2.

Then we need to capture the data from the Table and save it into the SharePoint list. But the table of the data will be dynamically changing the no of data's.

 

So Need help in regards to this! Anyone would help me on this requirement.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

I have done two videos on how to do this:

Both use different approaches, but either should work for you.

Hi @Paulie78 ,

 

But in my scenario the number of data’s differ every time dynamically. Any ways to do that?

it really depends if is the number of rows or columns that changes. Rows are easy, columns more difficult. As your target is a SharePoint list with a fixed number of columns then I guess the format of the email does not change, just the number of records, which is perfectly possible to handle.

Yes @Paulie78  you’re absolutely correct. My current scenario is that the rows only change and the column doesn’t change, its always a fixed one.

 

Could you suggest any way to achieve that?
