Receiving Emails from Gmail in UiPath

Question

I am working on building an automation solution which involves receiving emails through gmail and storing their data (Body/Subject) into an excel or CSV file which will be used for further analysis. I am facing issue with Gmail integration with UiPath. Can someone help me with how to do this and which protocol to use?

Hi,

Integration of Gmail with UiPath can be achieved through IMAP or SMTP protocols. But to retrieve email messages, you will have to use the Get IMAP Mail Messages activity of IMAP. Use the following values to configure its properties.

Server: imap.gmail.com

Port: 993

Using this activity, you will be able to retrieve the email messages in the Output > Messages property which can store a list of messages. Then use this output variable for further processing. In your case, you can use a For Each activity to store every individual message as required.
