Check recipients addresses

[tsoct]

Helo all,

The script below is returning me 'No'. What could be the issue?

 var email = GlideRecord('sys_email');
 email.addEncodedQuery('mailbox=received^sys_id=67acb6c247109a10b58a86fd436d4312');
 email.query();

 if (email.next()) {
     var e = 'test@email.com';

     var recipientsArray = [];
     recipientsArray.push(email.recipients.toUpperCase().split(','));

     for (var i = 0; i < recipientsArray.length; i++) {

         if ((recipientsArray.indexOf(e) > -1)) {
             gs.info('Yes');
         } else if ((recipientsArray.indexOf(e) == -1)) {
             gs.info('No');
         } 
     }
 }

HI @tsoct 

Have you tried to utilize Inbound EMail Action for this?

Hello @PrashantLearnIT ,

Inbound Email Action is unable to meet my use case, which involves checking header text against the list of recipients. The script I added is only the part that is not working.

Hi @tsoct 

The issue is recipientsArray.push(email.recipients.toUpperCase().split(',')); creates a nested array, and when you later check recipientsArray.indexOf(e), it doesn't work as expected because recipientsArray contains an array inside of it, not a flat array of strings.

Try the below script :-

var email = new GlideRecord('sys_email');
email.addEncodedQuery('mailbox=received^sys_id=67acb6c247109a10b58a86fd436d4312');
email.query();
if (email.next()) {
var e = 'test@email.com';
var recipientsArray = email.recipients.toUpperCase().split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < recipientsArray.length; i++) {
if (recipientsArray[i] === e.toUpperCase()) {
gs.info('Yes');
break;
} else if (i === recipientsArray.length - 1) {
gs.info('No');
}
}
}
