uncompress/unzip the documents

Certified Associate Developer

Hi,

In our Application, we read an email box and for each email - we should check if it has any attachments and uncompress them.

We have a requirement from business to uncompress zip, eml, msg, rar files upto 3 levels in depth and extract data and attachments. Is there a plug-in to achieve this?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Keerthi

    Hi  ,



    Yes you can unzip the files, but currently we have an option to only unzip .zip / .jar files - Plugin.

    Currently, there is no official Appian plugin that extracts data directly from .eml or .msg or .rar files.

    You can check the following info to have better understanding:

    File Type Tool Method
    .zip Appian Plug-in Use Zip Utilities plug-in
    .eml RPA or Java Service Use JavaMail or custom RPA bot
    .msg RPA or Java Service Use Outlook Message Parser
    .rar RPA Use WinRAR CLI or junrar via RPA bot
    Recursion Appian or RPA Handle up to 3 levels via loop or subprocess

    Hope this helps you!!
