Flow designer - Using Inbound email trigger to create an incident

I would like to use Flow Designer to create an incident record for an inbound email.

I confirmed that my instance has inbound email enabled and created a flow with a simple inbound email trigger defined.  The email got processed but did not trigger the flow to create the incident. 

If I tested the flow by selecting the inbound email, it worked.

I also created an email action with the same conditions as I had in Flow Designer.  The email action worked and created an incident.

Have I missed something in my set-up or configuration?  I would prefer to use Flow but I can't find what I'm missing.

Hi Michele,

Quick question. Have you published the flow? It can be an easy mistake if you haven't worked so much with the flow designer.

Yes, I have made that mistake before but not this time :=0

 

Did you figure this out? I am having a similar issue. Thanks.

I found that when I ran a test and sent the email to servicenow, an email trigger record was created in the sys_flow_email_trigger table but with a blank name.  I updated the name field and then it worked.  Not sure if this is correct way to do it or not but it worked.
