Matthew Bracewell email to case how can i get information from email body
Hi all,
We are currently using the email to case functionality within our business and have a customer at the moment who is sending us multiple cases per day that we simply need to log and report on. The problem is that they auto generate their emails from their system and as such hold all the detail in the email body. These generally are like:
Patient Name:
Address:
Town:
Post Code:
etc
I was wondering if i could use a workflow or trigger to automatically take this data out of the email body and populate some custom fields?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated
Hi Matthew,
I would like to request to submit proper usecase, so that It could be fast to make the solution.anyways, below is the sample code snippet, which you ideally can utilize for fruitful results - :
// Retrieves content from the email. // Splits each line by the terminating newline character // and looks for the position of the phone number and city String[] emailBody = email.plainTextBody.split('\n', 0); String phoneNumber = emailBody[0].substring(6); String city = emailBody[1].substring(5);Thanks

Mr Mitchell is very concerned about this - it is first collection and he is very anxious as the box is very full. Please could Mr Mitchell be contacted to advise when collection will be (Mr MiItchell has advised that he will not be home until 2pm, so has asked not to be contacted before then)

Data that is needed:
I have highlighted in bold in both examples the data that is needed to be mapped out to new custom fields. Unfortunately there can always be extra text in the email which can vary the lines that the data we need sits on.
We need this trigger to kick in whenever the Case Origin is equal to 'Email to Support - Aneurin Bevan'
Hope this helps,
Matt
