Flow email trigger#
One convenient way to trigger a Flow run is by sending an email to a unique address assigned to each Flow.
To streamline this process, a new Trigger email address button has been added under the Flow’s title.
When clicked, this button automatically copies the Flow’s email address to your clipboard, allowing you to easily share or use the address to initiate a Flow run.
When an email is sent to this address, the flow is automatically triggered to execute a run. The email’s content is parsed and the following details become available as variables:
- first name
- last name
- from
- to
- subject
- content
- attachments
These variables allow you to customize your flow's behavior based on the incoming email. For example, you can:
- Extract sender information to personalize responses.
- Use the subject line to route or process specific types of requests.
- Process attachments to automatically handle uploaded documents or images.
Make sure your emails are formatted correctly to ensure all details are captured accurately. Additional configurations may be necessary depending on your specific flow requirements.
