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 [mention:02c3f606848545c78e557c59d3379722:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,
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!!
