Parsing emails - how to extract date email sent

I want to extract the date an email was sent from the email header, not from the body text.  How do I do this?  I don’t want the date the mailbox was set up, I want the date of the email I am parsing itself.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks for replying.  I managed to make it all work this morning.  I am not sure why, but before I could not see 

only mailbox date!

Thanks again. Margaret

What email app are you using? (e.g. Gmail)

The metadata for the trigger step should include the date the email was received.
