Hello everyone,

I am currently struggling with the attempt to automatically execute a macro as soon as a new mail is created in the sent folder.
This one mail should then be marked, the subject should be checked and if the condition is met, the macro should be triggered.

After some searching on the Internet, I have put together a code. But here I still have difficulties:

Here are a few key data:
  • Example for subject: Enquiry | 196630 | OPO_Table$
  • Now I have a script in "ThisOutlookSession", which checks whether a new mail is filed with the sent mails.
  • If so, the subject is checked.
  • If this starts with "Enquiry |", a script should be executed + an info


Now I always have the problem that the script:
  • Does not take the most recent mail - but the second most recent mail.
  • That the script is not triggered at all

Do you have an idea for this - or is there another variant so that a script is executed for every mail sent?
Thank you in advance
Kind Regards
Xmedia


Here is the script:
Private WithEvents SentItems As Items


Private Sub Application_Startup()

Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Outlook.namespace

Set OutlookApp = Outlook.Application
Set ns = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set SentItems = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items

End Sub


Private Sub SentItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)

Dim myItem As Outlook.mailItem
Dim strSubject As String

If TypeOf Item Is mailItem Then
Set myItem = Item
strSubject = myItem.subject

' Check whether the subject begins with "Enquiry |"
If Left(strSubject, 9) = "Anfrage |" Then

'Mark e-mail
myItem.MarkAsTask olMarkToday

' Call up "Macro1"
Macro1

MsgBox "It worked"

End If
End If
End Sub
 
Hi Diane
I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience after testing.
Thank you in advance
 
When testing and if there is an error, you need to click in the app start menu and click run to restart it.

Flag in not working - because you arent saving.

'Mark e-mail
myItem.MarkAsTask olMarkToday
myitem.save
 
Hey Diane,
Thanks for the solution. :)
„myitem.save“ was the missing element
It works for me too
 
Hi Diane

I have now realized something.
When Outlook is started, this only works for the 1st mail.
For all other subsequent mails, the macro is no longer called?

Do you have an idea or guess where this is coming from?

Thank you
