Extracting Date from Email

Hi guys,

 

Is there a way I could get the date in the email below using Alteryx automation or other means aside from copying and pasting it using the report text tool in Alteryx?

I'd like to get or extract "Wed 5/8/2024 6:29 PM" and convert/format it to "Wednesday, May 08, 2024 6:29 PM".

I'd like also to extract "20240508 06:28:41" exactly as it is.

 

Anyone please. Please help.

Kamen

@KamenRider you could do this very efficiently with Power Automate or Automation Anywhere

@KamenRider 
use outlook email tool to pull the data from the mail
once pulled this can be converted using the formula tool.
