How to check mail have attachment using uipath
To check if an email has an attachment using UiPath, you can follow these steps:
Prerequisites:
- You have a UiPath robot with the
System.Net.Mail
andSystem.IO
assemblies referenced. - You have a mail client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail) set up on your machine.
Step 1: Connect to the mail client
Use the System.Net.Mail
assembly to connect to your mail client. For example, if you're using Outlook, you can use the following code:
using System.Net.Mail;
MailClient mailClient = new MailClient();
mailClient.Connect("Outlook");
Step 2: Get the email
Use the mailClient
object to retrieve the email you want to check. For example:
MailMessage email = mailClient.GetEmail("[email protected]", "subject_of_email");
Step 3: Check if the email has an attachment
Use the email.Attachments
property to check if the email has any attachments. If the property is not null, it means the email has at least one attachment.
if (email.Attachments!= null && email.Attachments.Count > 0)
{
// Email has attachments
}
else
{
// Email does not have attachments
}
Step 4: Get the attachment(s)
If the email has attachments, you can iterate through the email.Attachments
collection to get the attachment(s) you're interested in. For example:
foreach (Attachment attachment in email.Attachments)
{
// Get the attachment file name
string fileName = attachment.FileName;
// Get the attachment file path
string filePath = attachment.FilePath;
// You can also get the attachment content as a byte array
byte[] attachmentContent = attachment.Content;
}
Example code
Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to check if an email has an attachment using UiPath:
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.IO;
MailClient mailClient = new MailClient();
mailClient.Connect("Outlook");
MailMessage email = mailClient.GetEmail("[email protected]", "subject_of_email");
if (email.Attachments!= null && email.Attachments.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Email has attachments");
foreach (Attachment attachment in email.Attachments)
{
string fileName = attachment.FileName;
string filePath = attachment.FilePath;
byte[] attachmentContent = attachment.Content;
Console.WriteLine($"Attachment: {fileName} ({filePath})");
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Email does not have attachments");
}
mailClient.Disconnect();
Note that this code snippet assumes you're using Outlook as your mail client. If you're using a different mail client, you may need to modify the code accordingly.
