Trigger every other email

[helpdesk]

How could I setup a workflow that triggers every other email received or filters then does an action upon every email received? I’m willing to use AI for this.

Hi there @helpdesk …its really simple, 2 ways either:

• keep a tiny counter in workflow static data. Each time an email arrives, increment; only proceed when the counter is even.

Nodes (minimal):

1. Trigger: Gmail Trigger (or IMAP Email)

2. Function (Counter - Need to make custom code)

3. IF (even? → yes branch = do action; no branch = exit)

4. (Your Action): HTTP Request, Slack, Set, etc.

   OR

   • Filter then act on every email (rules by From/Subject/Has Attachments)

   Nodes:

   1. Trigger: Gmail Trigger (or IMAP Email)

   2. IF: add any combination of rules (From contains, Subject regex, Has attachments)

   3. Action: make the conditions only on true branch
