Connect Pipedream to any IMAP email provider to trigger custom workflows.
Run any Bash in a Pipedream step within your workflow. Refer to the Pipedream Bash docs to learn more.
Using Pipedream's IMAP API, developers can automate interactions with their email inbox, enabling serverless workflows that perform actions based on incoming emails. This could include parsing email contents, triggering events upon receiving emails from specific senders, attaching labels, and much more. By leveraging IMAP, Pipedream can act as a bridge between your email and other services, streamlining processes that would otherwise require manual intervention.
