Read inbox

Read inbox

Searches for e-mails in a mailbox based on filtering criteria such as read status, sender, subject or content. It returns a list of e-mails matching the filters defined, which can be processed together with the Get e-mail from list action.

Options

connection ID

Select the E-mail connection action that will be used to access the inbox.

Box name

Enter the name of the mailbox to be read. The default value is INBOX for the main inbox. Custom boxes can be provided according to the account structure.

Types of email reading

Select the main filter by e-mail status. The options available are:

• All emails — returns every e-mail with no status filter
• New and unviewed emails — returns only newly arrived and unread e-mails
• Emails viewed — returns only e-mails already read
• Emails not seen — returns e-mails that have not been opened yet
• Flagged emails — returns e-mails marked with a flag
• Draft emails pending delivery — returns e-mails saved as drafts waiting to be sent

Email search filters

Add additional filters to refine the search. Each filter defines a field and the value to be searched for. The fields available include subject, sender, addressee, body and text. This field is optional.

Skip attachments?

Option to select Yes or No (default). When set to Yes, the e-mails are returned without the attachment content, only with the information of each attachment (such as file name, type and size), which reduces memory usage.
