It looks like a bug in the Pabbly Connect (extractPattern) when the workflow runs automatically. I used the below given "Extract Pattern" to find the matches text from the email body HTML. It matches correctly when we run the steps manually on the "Save and Send Test Request" button click and even when we run the whole workflow manually (Re-execute->Entire Workflow) from workflow history. When the workflow runs automatically (schedule to trigger on email parser), it fails to extract text from the body HTML. It shows success when testing the same regular expression with the https://regex101.com/.

Hey @jitesh_tandel

Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Could you kindly re-execute the process, as the extract pattern appears to be functioning correctly on our end? Please inform us if the issue persists.

Thanks @Supreme,
As I mentioned in my thread, it works when we run the workflow manually using the "Re-execute" button. It fails when the workflow triggers automatically when I receive any email (trigger to hook on email parser).

Can you try using a Delay action step before the Extract Pattern action step?

Ok. I will try and update you if it works.

JFI: I integrated Text Formatter -> HTML to Markdown just before the Extract Pattern action step. I am using the "HTML to Markdown" result into Extract Pattern action step instead of HTML Body directly. It seems working after I integrated HTML to Markdown. I still haven't tried delay before Extract Pattern action step.
Will I face the same issue If I use HTML to Markdown result into the Extract Pattern?
