intern2424 Help with inbound Email message and apex
Hi I am trying to create an object from an inbound email message. This is the class I created:
global class Person implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler
{
global Messaging.InboundEmailResult
handleInboundEmail(Messaging.inboundEmail email,
Messaging.InboundEnvelope env)
{
Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new
Messaging.InboundEmailResult();
String[] emailBody = email.plainTextBody.split('/n', 0);
String name = emailBody[0].substring(0);
String age = emailBody[1].substring(0);
String birthdate = emailBody[2].substring(0);
String city = emailBody[3].substring(0);
String street = emailBody[4].substring(0);
String zip = emailBody[5].substring(0);
Person__c[] newPerson = new Person__c[0];
newPerson.add(new Person__c(
Name = name,
Age__c = age,
Birth_Date__c = birthdate,
City__c = city,
Street__c = street,
Zip_Postal_Code__c = zip));
insert newPerson;
return result;
}
}
But when I send an email I keep on getting this error:
554 System.ListException: List index out of bounds: 1
Class.Person.handleInboundEmail: line 13, column 24
External entry point
Thank you for any help you can give.
My guess is your String[] emailBody is not being set properly with the split() method. I recommend using System.debug messages to output the plainTextBody and the emailBody string array to ensure its as you expect.
If you are trying to split() based off the newline character, isn't that '\n' and not '/n'?

Yeah, I just figured that out a minute ago. Man. HAHAHA. I just got it to work this way. I was wondering if I could build the SOQL statement dynamically.
My email will look like this: (First line is the object I created, second line is the name i want to put in, third line is the field name, and so on)
Person__c
John Doe
Name
27
Age__c
04/04/1988
Birth_date__c
Dallas
City__c
Saint Tom
Street__c
12345
Zip__c
Could i create a for loop to build the statement and just do:
newPerson.add(new "This is were i put my new SOQL statement"));
Thank you for all the help.
