Email trigger from an email folder

[jber95]

Hello n8n community,

I would like to trigger my workflow when an email is placed inside a folder or subfolder of my imap email inbox, is this possible ? If so, how ?

Thank you.

Hello @jber95, welcome to the community.

In the IMAP trigger you can see the mailbox name to watch, this is where you would put the name of the folder / tag.

Hello @jabbson

what is the syntax when it comes to this field ? I cannot find any documentation regarding this.

thank you for your reply.

I think I was wrong, that wouldn’t be the field you play with, instead I think you need to create a filter using Custom Email Rule:

There are some examples for how to construct this filter, but i’ve never tried it myself.
