📨 Email Trigger
Trigger workflows when emails are received via forwarding.
Overview
The Email Trigger starts your workflow when an email is received. It works with any email provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) via email forwarding to a unique address generated by Falcon Builder.
How It Works
- Add an Email Trigger node — a unique email address is auto-generated
- Set up email forwarding from your email provider to the generated address
- When an email arrives, the workflow executes with the email data
