Hi Ben,

Currently this has been posted in Idea and will soon be impletemented. Below is the workaround for now

t.whatId.substring(0,3) == '006' => for opportunity

t.whatId.substring(0,3) == '001' => for account

Mark it as answer if it solves the issue.

Thanks
Manoj S

Thank you!
Only thing i would comment is that i need to type cast the Id to string first.
  
String relatedID = String.valueOf(t.whatId); //type cast Id type to String
        	
        	if(relatedID.substring(0,3)=='006'){
            	      System.debug('TEST: '+t.Subject+ ' is related to Opportunity: ' +t.whatId);
                 }
