</div>

what should the path be to get the email address out of the below SAML response?

here is what does not work  
`/saml2p:Response/saml2:Assertion/saml2:AttributeStatement/saml2:Email/saml2:AttributeValue/text()`

```auto
<samlp:Response>
    <Assertion>
        <AttributeStatement>
            <Attribute Name="Email">
                <AttributeValue>email@domain.com</AttributeValue>
            </Attribute>
        </AttributeStatement>
    </assertion>
</samlp:Response>

```

Hi @Jonathan -

Try `/Response/Assertion/AttributeStatement/Attribute[@Name='Email']/AttributeValue/text()`

If that doesn’t work, DM me the actual SAML response document.

</div>

this did the trick

`/saml2p:Response/saml2:Assertion/saml2:AttributeStatement/saml2:Attribute[@Name='Email']/saml2:AttributeValue/text()`
