I sell software online via Paypal.
They were notifying me by email that somebody paid for the software, with the email address of the buyer in the from field.
I created a rule that moved the email to a folder and auto replied to that message with the password for the software.
A few days ago Paypal changed that. All notifications now come from service@intl.paypal.com with the buyer’s email address imbedded in the contents of the email.
This rendered the rule useless, customers emailing me in anger requesting their password.
I contacted Paypal but they are not willing to revert.
Could somebody tell me how I could fix this so I do not have to manually check and reply to each email?
I need to change the rule so that:
- It moves the message to a folder (this can be done with action Move Message to Mailbox GrupaDupa)
- it runs a script to extract the buyer’s address and name (the script below would do that correctly but I do not know how to have the script place the contents of the paypal email in variable txt) and autoreplies to that buyer with “Thank you for supporting GrupaDupa, your password is: thePassword” and the contents of the message from paypal.
Can anybody help me with how to have the script place: “Thank you for supporting GrupaDupa, your password is: thePassword” and the contents of that paypal email to me in a new message, address it to the buyer and send the new email.
So far I have got:
NB I selected and copied all the contents of a notification and used it in variable txt to test.
