GetWorkingInstance() could not get instance from TypeProxy. InstanceName: microsoftOutlookAttachmentProxy1
hi
I have a requirement Where Automation Should get triggered When New Email Arrives in Outlook Inbox & Check for Unread Emails (Which Contains Subject as RE: & has an attachment) ,if condition satisfies then it should open the email & download the attachment File from Email to local. But When automation is trying to download attachment from UnRead Emails (which contains only RE: mails) through OutlookAttachmentProxy ,If there are no unread emails & no attachments it throws below Error, How to Handle it Such that this error should not be thrown & should run only if Unread Email has Subject as RE & has an attachment. Then only further action should be performed. Is there any solution for this?

It sounds like you're trying to call something that isn't there yet. I would suggest triggering the automation off of the email being received. Otherwise, have a prefetch automation that checks to see if any emails exist before calling the main automation.

The same answer applies. If you are trying to use an instance and it is null you will get this result. You can wrap this in a Try..Catch and exit if the object is null.
