Receive Email

The Receive Email Action, formerly known as the IMAP Action, emits Events when it detects new emails on an IMAP server or when emails are sent to a uniquely generated email address.

Use the Receive Email Action to automate actions based on received emails, for example: analyze potentially malicious emails for threats; auto-respond to customers based on email subject or body; or alert teammates in Slack when particular emails are received. To trigger the action, send an email to the email address listed on the action.

Features 

The Receive Email action has two modes of operations:

  • Email mode - the action emits Events when it detects emails sent to a uniquely generated email address (default).

  • IMAP mode - the action emits Events when it detects new emails on an IMAP server.
