Outlook Receive Node

Trigger a workflow when an email is received from an Outlook inbox

Overview

The Outlook Receive Node is a component in the Pathlit workflow builder that allows you to automate processes based on incoming emails to your Outlook inbox. This node monitors a specified Outlook email account and captures the details of received emails, enabling you to create workflows triggered by email events.

Configuration Parameters

Basic Settings

• Email: The Outlook email address you want to monitor for incoming emails. You’ll need to authenticate with your Microsoft account to set this up.

Trigger Testing Inputs

To test the workflow in the editor, you can use the following test inputs:

• Test Email Sender:

  A mock email address to simulate the sender of an incoming email. Example: [e-mail]

• Test Email Subject:

  A sample subject line to use when testing the node.

• Test Email Body: The content of the email to use for testing purposes.

Expected Inputs and Outputs

• Inputs:

  • This node doesn’t require any inputs from other nodes in the workflow.

• Outputs:

  • Sender: The email address of the sender.
  • Subject: The subject line of the email.
  • Body: The content of the email.

Error Handling and Troubleshooting

• Authentication Issues:

  If the node isn’t receiving emails, ensure that you’ve properly authenticated with your Microsoft account and that the correct email address is specified.

• Workflow Not Triggering: Remember that the workflow needs to be saved and deployed for it to be triggered by actual emails. In the editor, use the test inputs to simulate email reception.
