Automation Regex - extract email address from Issue Description

Michael Jessopp_5rord4

I have an automation rule that creates a smart value variable "EmailReporter" using the following smart value 

{{issue.description.match((?<=User\: )(.*))}}

And the issue description contains the line

"User: first.last@domain.com"

I've used a regex validation tool (regex101.com) to validate the regex (?<=User\: )(.*) which locates the email address, but I can't this to work in the automation rule. I need the email address to be able to update the 'reporter' field.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @Michael Jessopp  Try below regex code :- 

([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+)

 

Thanks
