So far we have seen how we can create custom applications through Comidor App Builder and through App creation in 4 steps with NLP. Also, we saw how to run those custom apps manually by a user action. In the Comidor Email automation configuration unit, you can boost your business process automation by including incoming emails as triggering points of an application. Every time a new email comes to a specified mailbox, an application will start and values will be stored in user fields, based on the configuration.

Before creating an Email automation configuration, make sure that:

  1. you have set up an email account for your user.
    • Find out more on how to set up your email account here.
  2. you have also activated the background service Run From Email.
    • Only system administrators have access to the background services unit. Background services | Comidor Platform

Those steps are critical for the automated initiation of an app from an incoming email.
