How to filter messages in Get Outlook Mail Messages activity in UiPath

Question

I can retrieve messages using the activity “Get outlook mail messages”. However, I do not understand how to use the Filter property of the activity. What is the syntax of the VB Expression to use there?

Hey, you can use a RegEx expression in Filter to fetch specific mails. Or you can use a If condition with a given Condition. Just make sure your in your condition expression keyword Contains should not have an asterisk. Either use 

item.Subject.Contains("Request") 

or 

item.Subject Like "Request*"
