Hi all,
I have some flows created, the structure like below.
(1) Email input flow, M365 input… some dirty code…save pdf attachement to different folders
(2) Folder capture from (1) then execute datamapping, output the xml to a folder.
I can gather the email sender /subject from (1),
and I want the output xml file contain the email sender/subject information in the extract data.
is there any method to get it done under workflow ?
Best regards,
Joey Tsui
Add the email sender/subject to the PDF metadata using a Workflow script.
Then when you pick up those PDF, extract the metadata from it and pass it as a runtime parameters to the Datamapper.
set MyPDFInfos = CreateObject(“AlambicEdit.PdfInfos”)
set MyPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject
MyPDF.Open Watch.GetJobFilename, False
MyPDFInfos.Keywords = “KeyWord1;Keyword2”
MyPDF.SetInfos MyPDFInfos
MyPDF.Save False
MyPDF.Close
Extract keyword from PDF metadata:
var myPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject();
myPDF.open(Watch.GetJobFileName(),false);
var meta = myPDF.GetInfos();
Watch.SetVariable("keywords",meta.keywords);
myPDF.Close();
Of course, if you kept all of this inside a single process, you could do the following:
1- Email input flow, M365 input… some dirty code…
2- Add the email sender/subject to local variables
3- Call the Datamapper and pass it the email sender/subject as runtime parameters
4- Voila!
thank you so much. i will try it.
the email input flow
set MyPDFInfos = CreateObject("AlambicEdit.PdfInfos")
set MyPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject
dim myVar
myVar = Watch.GetVariable("varEmail") &";" & Watch.GetVariable("varSubject")
MyPDF.Open Watch.GetJobFilename, False
MyPDFInfos.Keywords = myVar
MyPDF.SetInfos MyPDFInfos
MyPDF.Save False
MyPDF.Close
the folder pdf capture flow
var myPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject();
myPDF.open(Watch.GetJobFileName(),false);
var meta = myPDF.GetInfos();
//Watch.SetVariable("keywords",meta.keywords);
var str = meta.keywords;
var str_array = str.split(';');
Watch.SetVariable("varEmail", str_array[0]);
Watch.SetVariable("varSubject", str_array[1]);
myPDF.Close();
It’s work, thank you very much.
then, i pass the variable to jobinfo, and get it from data mapper, right ?
