How to use it

Key @lainstack/email/received-trigger (“Email received”). Starts a run for each email that arrives in a connected email account. Choose it for inbox-driven work.

References use the type key @lainstack/email/received-trigger as the source blockId, never the block instance id.

Payload leaves:

• payload.data.from, payload.data.to (list), payload.data.cc (list), payload.data.subject.
• payload.data.emailRef: the message as a file.
• payload.data.attachments: attached files.
• payload.system.credentialId, payload.system.accountEmail, payload.system.messageId, payload.system.inReplyTo, payload.system.references (list), payload.system.receivedAt.

Traps:

• There is no body text leaf. The message content is in the file emailRef.
• The account is polled about once a minute, so runs start with a delay.
• Every email starts a run. The trigger has no filter. Filter with @lainstack/flow/condition as the first block (javascript.predicate).
• credentialId must be an active Outlook email connection. The trigger cannot install otherwise.
• inReplyTo has no value for a message that is not a reply.
• A test run takes trigger data from a pinned sample (testing).
