Can you help on the below:- 

 

By using the Automation Anywhere tool, I need to drag an email from outlook inbox (which will have lot of emails and will receive new emails on daily basis) and drop one by one email to another application. With what all actions can we achieve this.

You can simulate drag and drop options with Automation Anywhere by using the Mouse functions. The down side is that it is coordinate based. 

As long as the email is in the same location on screen, you can perform a mouse down action, then a move mouse action, then a mouse up action.

Hi @Anil_k1,

You can’t perform the drag and drop action using AA. Please try copy and paste manually first to see if your requirement is fulfilled that way. If yes, then you can mimic the same action by using the Send Keystrokes action in AA.

Hi @Anil_k1 you might do it with mouse:click options. You can click and move the mouse with easily.

Before that, you should test this scenario a lot, to check if there is no error.

Since you have to use mouse click and down-up options, then you have to open outlook and that application in the screen like (50%of screen for outlook, 50% of screen for application, or you may change the percentage)
