Nintex Connect

Hy, we are sending mails to an e-mail enabled document library and want to extract data from the body of the mail.

Sending and saving mails to the document library works fine also reading the content of the eml-file via the QueryXML-Action works fine.

Our problem is that the regular expression is working when we use the "RUN NOW" command and not when the workflow

runs.

We've defined the following values in the regular expression action

Pattern: (?<=Name:).*(?=Strasse)

IgnoreCase: True

Input: Workflow-Variable with data of eml-File

We are using Nintex Workflow 2010 Standard Version 2.3.3 

Hi Florian,

I've not encountered an issue where the RegEx works in the Run Now but not when the workflow runs.

Does it work if you manually start the workflow?

I ask because I want to see if this only fails on automatic starting, then it could be that you may need a delay at the start of your workflow in order to get SharePoint to complete it's updating of the item.  If it hasn't, it's possible the body of the email is blank and that's what you are running your RegEx on.

Can you read the body into a text variable, then use a Log in the History List action to log it before you run the Regex on it?  This may let you know if you have data yet or not.

Hy Vadim,

the workflow is started manually.

I took the body of the e-mail an copied it directly in the input-field of the regular-expression action and it doesn't work.

As I mentioned, with the "RUN NOW" action it works!

Best regards,

Florian 

Hi Florian,

send an email to Nintex Support and attach an example of the email that gets put into your doclib.  We can then try it out and see what we can find.
