Flow designer - Inbound email trigger

Has anyone got the inbound email trigger for flow designer to work?

What I want to do is catch an inbound email from a specific user. The user and e-mail address is known and is going to be the same every time.

The flow skips the email and it gets picked up by an inbound email action instead.

 

I have tried lots of different conditions but cannot get it to work.

Some of the conditions I have tried:

Subject is not empty

Subject contains string a or string b.

Created by is MyUser

User is MyUser

User ID Email is user@hotmail.com

User ID sys ID contains “32 character sys_ID”

User ID sys ID is “32 character sys_ID”

User ID is MyUser

User ID Name is MyUser

 

The flow is activated.

It is only for new incoming emails, no replys or forwards.

Email address, User ID will be same every time.

Subject will be known but two different possibilities.

 

I am stuck. Any suggestions what I should do to get it working?

Got help from HI with this issue.

This is what solved the issue. Thank you Prateek 🙂

 

Most Probable Cause

"com.glide.email_filter" plugin is not activated in your instance.

Solution Proposed

We would recommend to activate the 'Email Filters' plugin ('com.glide.email_filter').

This plugin has been active for all zbooted instances as of Kingston and later, but it has not been auto-enabled for upgrades. Any customer instances zbooted originally prior to Kingston would not have this plugin active, and therefore may see this issue.

Because the plugin provides far better control, flexibility and usability than the older property-based filters, we recommend you activate this plugin.
