Set the single_body optional parameter to FALSE to replace `body` with separate `body_html` and `body_text` fields. **Categories:** Data Parsing/Conversion ## Syntax ``` EML_PARSE(text, [single_body: TRUE]) ``` ## Examples ### Example 1 Input: ```json { "my_action": { "message": "Delivered-To: john@example.com\nDate: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:00:37 +0000\nFrom: John Smith john@example.com\nReply-To:john@example.com\nTo: john@example.com\nMessage-ID: \nSubject: Example email\nMime-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative;\n boundary=\"--==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\";\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\nContent-Type: text/plain;\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\nA real email body could go here\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\nContent-Type: text/html;\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n A real email body could go here\n \n\n\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db--" } } ``` Formula: ``` EML_PARSE(my_action.message) ``` Output: ```json { "attachments": [], "body": "\n\n \n \n \n \n A real email body could go here\n \n\n", "cc": [], "date": "2023-01-20T00:00:37+00:00", "from": "John Smith john@example.com", "headers": { "Content-Transfer-Encoding": "7bit", "Content-Type": "multipart/alternative; boundary=\"--==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\"; charset=UTF-8", "Date": "Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:00:37 +0000", "Delivered-To": "john@example.com", "From": "John Smith john@example.com", "Message-ID": "", "Mime-Version": "1.0", "Reply-To": "john@example.com", "Subject": "Example email", "To": "john@example.com" }, "message_id": "message_id", "subject": "Example email", "to": [ "john@example.com" ] } ``` ## Sample actions ```json { "standardLibVersion": "13", "actionRuntimeVersion": "1", "agents": [ { "disabled": false, "name": "My Action", "description": "", "options": { "mode": "message_only", "loop": false, "payload": { "message": "Delivered-To: john@example.com\nDate: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:00:37 +0000\nFrom: John Smith john@example.com\nReply-To:john@example.com\nTo: john@example.com\nMessage-ID: \nSubject: Example email\nMime-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative;\n boundary=\"--==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\";\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\nContent-Type: text/plain;\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\nA real email body could go here\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db\nContent-Type: text/html;\n charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n A real email body could go here\n \n\n\n----==_mimepart_63c9d9a544871_73eb214182db--" } }, "position": { "x": -210, "y": 3390 }, "type": "eventTransformation", "timeSavedUnit": "minutes", "timeSavedValue": 0, "monitorAllEvents": false, "monitorFailures": false, "monitorNoEventsEmitted": null, "form": null }, { "disabled": false, "name": "EML_PARSE", "description": "", "options": { "mode": "message_only", "loop": false, "payload": { "eml_parse": "=EML_PARSE(my_action.message)" } }, "position": { "x": -210, "y": 3480 }, "type": "eventTransformation", "timeSavedUnit": "minutes", "timeSavedValue": 0, "monitorAllEvents": false, "monitorFailures": false, "monitorNoEventsEmitted": null, "form": null } ], "links": [ { "sourceIdentifier": 0, "receiverIdentifier": 1 } ], "diagramNotes": [] } ```
