Latest email body extraction from an email thread

[SaifAli]

Hi Team,

So in my current scenario I'm actually pulling the latest email from a email thread and posting it in the Azure DevOps as a comment in a particular Work item.

The whole thing was working really great until I found out that the email replied email if short in length actually picks up the last email as well

For Ex.

Look at the below email thread :

Hi xyz,

This is a test email.

Regards,

ABC

From: xyz <xyz@abc.com>

Sent: Friday, November 22, 2019 6:23 AM

To: team <Team@abc.com>

Cc: pqr <pqr@abc.com>

Subject: TFS access

Hi team-

Please provide access to the project.

In this particular example while extracting the body I get the full email thread even the previous email as well, At first I decided to use split function like this "

trim(split(outputs('email'),'From:')[0])"

and it was working fine but it failed when it encountered an email thread as below :

Hi Team,

Here is an attachment work

Thanks,

Pqr

 Can some one help me on this please? so that I can extract the latest body only as I don't require the previous ones at all.

Hi @SaifAli ,

Could you please take a try with the "Body Preview" dynamic content from the trigger as screenshot below:

hi @v-alzhan-msft ,

Actually I'm using "Body Preview" only but still getting the whole previous email thread as well.
