Hi,

is it possible to define a keyword with conditional script?
Case: Each message body starts with specified keyword. Script should proof (and process if matched) only the first word of the message (keyword).

This built-in conditional function is not useful while it is possible that some keywords exists in the middle of message and this is not what I need. Only the first word should be matched.

For an example, I would be grateful

You can create an Email2DB field to extract the first word of the body.

Set the Look For to '*'.
Set the Extract until 'Any Of These Characters' option
Move the field to first in the list of fields.
 
You can then use this field value in any of Email2Db actions using %fieldname%. Or use in Email2DB scripts using FIELD_Value("Fieldname")
 
For a condition script you could do:
 


Sub Main


Select Case FIELDS_Value("FirstWord")


Case "word1","word2"


   Email2DBSend = True


Case Else


   Email2DBSend = False


End Select


End Sub
