IMAP trigger events automates workflows by monitoring your email account. When an email arrives and matches your specified conditions, it initiates the workflow. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Setting Up Your IMAP Integration
Access IMAP Settings: Navigate to Integrations > Triggers > IMAP card.
Add Integration: From the integrations page, choose the IMAP option and click Add.
Configure Details:
Name Your Integration: Assign a relevant name, like gmail-security or
365-phishing.Server and Port: Enter your email service's details in server:port format, e.g., imap.gmail.com:993.
Email Account Details: Provide the username and password for the email account. Use the app password for Gmail accounts.
Fetch Interval: Set how often to check for new emails.
Email Folder: Specify the folder to monitor, typically INBOX.
Note:
For Gmail users, remember to use the app password for your account.
Verifying Your Integration
To ensure your IMAP integration works correctly:
Create a Basic Workflow: Head to Workflows > Create workflow and select your newly created IMAP integration.
Test the Integration: Send an email to the associated account and wait for the fetch interval to pass. Then, check the IMAP event log for the trigger.
