Email body in html field

Hi all,

 

I have a flow designer where the trigger is inbound email. I'm creating a request after the trigger where I need to populate the email body in the description field and the subject in the short description. I used the data pill but it didn't work. I even tried the below script which didn't work either.

 

var ritmDesc = fd_data.trigger.email.body;
return ritmDesc;
 
Can anyone help here.

@Vikram3 

you are using it in wrong way

why are you using script for description?

you can simply set it like this as I shared yesterday

@Ankur Bawiskar This is weird. I even tried setting default value instead of data pill. It didn't populate either.

@Vikram3 

Did you check field is readonly at dictionary level?

did you try setting it manually from form UI?

Did you try background script and see?

Flow is running as System user?

Any field level WRITE ACL is blocking?

Hello @Vikram3 

Try adding body_text instead of body

var ritmDesc = fd_data.trigger.current.body_text;
gs.log("ritmDesc = " + ritmDesc );
return ritmDesc;

Hope this helps!
