New Email

The New Email trigger starts a workflow when Microsoft creates a message in the connected account’s Inbox. It can filter by subject and downloads non-inline attachments for the run.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
Microsoft Account	Microsoft account	Yes	Outlook Inbox to watch.
Subject Filter	String	No	Required subject text. Matching is case-sensitive.

Leave Subject Filter empty to accept every qualifying new Inbox message.

Trigger data

Output	Type	Description
Message ID	String	Microsoft message ID.
Conversation ID	String	Outlook conversation ID.
Sender Name	String	Sender display name, when present.
Sender Address	String	Sender email address, when present.
Subject	String	Message subject.
Plain Text	String	Message body requested as text.
HTML	String	Message body requested as HTML.
Date/Time	Date	Time the message was received.
Attachments	List of files	Downloaded non-inline message attachments.

Messages sent back to the same account by WorkflowDog are excluded when they carry WorkflowDog’s automation header. This prevents common self-triggering loops.

Example: archive incoming documents

Set Subject Filter to Statement to limit runs to statement emails. Connect Attachments to a repeat action, then store each file during the loop. The workflow creates one run per matching email and processes every non-inline attachment in that message.

Troubleshooting

The subject filter did not match

Matching is case-sensitive and searches for the configured text anywhere in the subject.

An inline image is missing

The trigger’s attachment list is intended for file attachments and does not include inline attachments.
