Create Outlook email routing rule based on ticket ID using VBA - vba

Question

I tried to create email routing rule with below scenario.
Incoming email will be located at Inbox/Active folder. Subject of the email will contain the ticket ID and content
Once new email coming to Active subfolder, Outlook will get the email subject and create the subfolder with format "ticket ID - content" eg: "123123 - issue with outlook"
Then a rule will be created to route this incoming email with ticket ID to the subfolder that I just created
Below is my code but it did not work. Only subfolder is created as expected. Please help me to review if any idea. Thanks

Answer 1

The subject condition should look like this:
'Dim oFromCondition As Outlook.ToOrFromRuleCondition
'Set oFromCondition = oRule.Conditions.subject
'With oFromCondition
' .Enabled = True
' .Text = rightSubject
'End With
Dim oSubjectCondition As TextRuleCondition
Set oSubjectCondition = oRule.Conditions.subject
With oSubjectCondition
.Enabled = True
.Text = Array(rightSubject)
End With

There is likely no need for rules.
Private Sub inboxItems_ItemAdd_Test()
inboxItems_ItemAdd ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
End Sub
Private Sub inboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
' Folder created for first mail
' No folder created for subsequent mail
Dim oInbox As folder
Dim oActivefolder As folder
Dim oMoveTarget As folder
Dim oFolder As folder
Dim ticketNumber As String
Set oInbox = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set oActivefolder = oInbox.Folders("Active")
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
Debug.Print "triggered"
' For testing
ticketNumber = "123123"
For Each oFolder In oActivefolder.Folders
If oFolder.Name = ticketNumber Then
Set oMoveTarget = oActivefolder.Folders(ticketNumber)
Debug.Print " Folder exists: " & oMoveTarget.Name
Exit For
End If
Next
If oMoveTarget Is Nothing Then
Set oMoveTarget = oActivefolder.Folders.Add(ticketNumber)
Debug.Print " Folder added: " & oMoveTarget.Name
End If
Item.Move oMoveTarget
End If
Debug.Print "Done."
End Sub
