Extracting text file to body of an email

[TWSI]

Hello and Good Day! I am new to robotask and need help with the following.

I need to create a task that does the following.

01. Watch folder for new items. c:\toemail
02. Extract all text from record c:\toemail\01.txt
03. Write that extracted data to the body of an email.
04. Send the email. (mailto:whoever@yahoo.com)
05. Delete text file c:\toemail\01.txt
06. Loop until each text file has been read, extracted, emailed, & deleted.
07. Wait & watch for new items. (repeat again)

I don't know how many text files I may have in the folder, we may have up to 20 at one time which would be 20 emails.

Thanks in advance
David

Just look at my example.
This task sends all TXT files to whoever@yahoo.com from folder c:\toemail
File monitor trigger detects new TXT file in the folder and launches the task automatically.
You need only to copy necessary files to folder c:\toemail

Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing.

Code: Select all

I was able to get it to work by changing BODYFILE to BODYTEXT

Yes, of course. This is my mistake. Variable name should be BODYTEXT at 1-st step.
I have corrected the task in my message
