Remove Reply Text - Learn WorkflowDog

The Remove Reply Text action cleans a common plain-text email reply format. It removes carriage returns, looks for a line shaped like On … wrote:, and strips the following quoted lines beginning with >.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
Text	String	Yes	Plain-text email content to clean.

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
Clean Text	String	Trimmed text after matching reply history is removed.

This is a best-effort text cleanup, not a complete email parser. Reply markers vary across mail clients and languages, so unmatched history can remain.

Example

Read a message with Get Message by ID, connect its Plain Text output to Remove Reply Text, then pass Clean Text to the action that classifies the message.

Troubleshooting

Quoted text remains

The cleaner recognizes the common On … wrote: pattern followed by newline-prefixed > quotes. Other formats, HTML replies, and custom signatures are left unchanged.
