I am supposed to receive an email with the subject "Testing Protocol"
from "BobSmith@company.com"
every day.
Is there a way to search my Outlook Inbox to determine if an email has come through with that subject and that sender for the current day? Id like a simple "Yes" or "No" to be placed in cell A1 of "Control" if it has or has not been received today.
Below is what I have tried to come up with on my own using previous questions with no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated. EmailSubject = "Testing Protocol"
Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim EmailSubject As Range
Set EmailSubject = Sheets("Control").Range("EmailSubject")
If Item.Class = olTask Then
If InStr(Item.Subject, EmailSubject) > 0 Then
ReminderUnreceivedMail
End If
End If
End Sub
Sub ReminderUnreceivedMail()
Dim Itms As Items
Dim srchSender As String
Dim srchSubject As String
Set Itms = GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
srchSender = "BobSmith@company.com"
srchSubject = EmailSubject
Set Itms = Itms.Restrict("[SenderName] = "BobSmith@company.com" And
[Subject] = EmailSubject And [SentOn] > '" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") &
"'")
If Itms.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No " & srchSubject & " email on " & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd")
End If
Set Itms = Nothing
End Sub
Likely wrong format for srchSender and combining a filter, for me, requires a confusing sequence of matching quotes.
Private Sub ReminderUnreceivedMail()
Dim Itms As items
Dim srchSender As String
Dim srchSubject As String
Dim strFilterBuild As String
Dim ItmsBuild As items
Dim strFilter As String
Set Itms = GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).items
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To Itms.count
Debug.Print Itms(i).senderName
Next
srchSender = "what you see in senderName from the above"
srchSubject = "EmailSubject"
' If you cannot get the quotes right all at once, build the filter.
strFilterBuild = "[SenderName] = '" & srchSender & "'"
Debug.Print strFilterBuild
Set ItmsBuild = Itms.Restrict(strFilterBuild)
If ItmsBuild.count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No " & srchSender & " email."
GoTo ExitRoutine
End If
strFilterBuild = strFilterBuild & " And [Subject] = '" & srchSubject & "'"
Debug.Print strFilterBuild
Set ItmsBuild = Itms.Restrict(strFilterBuild)
If ItmsBuild.count = 0 Then
' This should find old mail
MsgBox "No " & srchSender & " email with subject " & srchSubject
GoTo ExitRoutine
End If
strFilterBuild = strFilterBuild & " And [SentOn] > '" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "'"
Debug.Print strFilterBuild
Set ItmsBuild = Itms.Restrict(strFilterBuild)
If ItmsBuild.count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No " & srchSender & " email with subject " & srchSubject & " today"
GoTo ExitRoutine
End If
' This should match the final strFilterBuild to confirm it can be done all at once.
strFilter = "[SenderName] = '" & srchSender & "' And [Subject] = '" & srchSubject & "' And [SentOn] > '" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "'"
Debug.Print strFilter
Set Itms = Itms.Restrict(strFilter)
If Itms.count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No " & srchSubject & " email on " & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd")
End If
ExitRoutine:
Set Itms = Nothing
End Sub
