running a cs code as part of email text capturing

Email Parser provides actions for the most common tasks (SQL, Excel, Command line, Web API …) but if you need to perform something different you can use C# to create your own action.

A script action is the implementation of the Run() method as it is shown below. This method takes the following parameters:

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage: This is the standard .NET email object containing the incoming email being processed.
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection: The list of fields that Email Parser has for the email being processed. This includes the standard email fields (From, To, Subject…) and also any other fields created by the Parsers or previous Actions. You can also add fields (name-value pairs in C#) to this list from the script and they will be available for the next Actions.

For instance, we can use a script to give contents to a field. Then we can use the contitional run action to trigger a database action.

{
    // Place your own code in the Run method()
    // It will be called each time this action runs
    public override void Run(MailMessage email, NameValueCollection fields)
    {
        string order_type = fields["order_type"];
        Print("Getting the order header");
        switch(order_type)
        {
        	case "internal":
        		fields.Add("confirmation_header","INTERNAL ORDER");
        		break;
        	case "regular":
        		fields.Add("confirmation_header","REGULAR ORDER");
        		break;
        	default:
        		fields.Add("confirmation_header","UNKNON ORDER TYPE");
        		break;
