The MS Outlook VBO is a fairly new object that was made available to Blue Prism 6.3 developers. It has significantly simplified the task of sending and receiving emails compared to earlier versions. In this chapter, we completed the building of the purchasing process by getting the robot to send an email to the requester when the items have been added to the cart. We also explored the options for receiving emails. We saw that after the search is complete, the email properties, message body, and attachments are all stored into a collection that we can retrieve by looping.
In the next chapter, we will explore a topic that is very central to programming with Blue Prism: Control Room and Work Queues.
