Enter the relevant parameters of the IMAP email server for the connected email address. The screen looks like this:
IMAP mail server host name, such as imappro.zoho.com.
The IMAP email server connection port number, set to commonly used 993 by default.
The account name registered in the email server, usually the same as the email address.
Password for the account filled above.
Whether to connect to the IMAP email server with TLS/SSL encryption.
The triggering keywords for the sender. It can be a complete email address or a partial string, for example, @company.com
The triggering keywords in the subject. The Keywords can be a partial string of the subject. For example, if the complete email subject is 'Please provide a product quote,' you can set the triggering keyword asquote
.
Select the skill from the list of installed Automation Skills to trigger for execution when the rule is matched.
Email trigger rules consist of two conditions, FROM and SUBJECT, both of which must be satisfied simultaneously to trigger the execution of the skill. If you wish to ignore the check for a specific field condition, simply leave that field empty. For example, if you want any email sent by info@emily.tips to trigger the skill execution, you only need to fill in info@emily.tips
in the FROM field and leave the SUBJECT field blank.
Whenever an email rule is triggered, EMILY.RPA creates a new working directory and writes the content of four fields from the incoming email, including sender, recipient, subject, and text, into the working directory. The file names are respectively: mail-from.txt
, mail-to.txt
, mail-subject.txt
, and mail-text.txt
. Additionally, any attachments from the incoming email are stored in the workspace with their original file names. These files can be used as input data for triggered skills.
