Sample Tasks -> T11- Automate Email Processing

Task Description: Automate Order email processing. If email contains approved order information reply it with standard message.

Solution
1.	Record a new task	Record a task of opening an email and replying to it with a standard reply. During recording the task, please make sure when you open the email and before you reply, you select the entire text by typing 'Ctrl + A' and copying it into the Clipboard by typing 'Ctrl + C'.
2.	Check if the order was approved or not	Open the recorded task in editor. We need to identify the action where we send the standard reply. Lets say that actions is the Keystroke action. We have to put this Keystroke action under a conditional statement as follows Screenshot 1: If $Clipboard$ Includes "some text" Then 'Keystroke Action of Sending Standard Reply.' End If Note: "some text" can be any text that 'always' occurs in an email with approved order. For e.g. it can be a word 'Approved'. In the above case, the action of sending a standard reply will be carried out only if the email contains the word 'Approved'.
3.	Repeat this task for multiple emails	You can repeat this task for multiple e-mails. All you need to do is at the end of recording, you need to record an action of moving to the next e-mail and set the Repeat property of this task to as many times as you prefer Screenshot 2

When you run this task, it loops through the emails and sends a standard reply to the emails that has approved order information. This tutorial demonstrates use of one of very powerful feature, 'Clipboard'. Use this when you want to perform conditional actions in some windows and where there is no other way to identify the difference in two scenarios that you are trying to differentiate.
