Email Reception in Workflow

Help
1

Hello

I am considering implementation of a simple and temporary approach for device registration through reception of emails in Losant. I.e. Installer installs Device and sends an email of known template to a pre-defined email address where he/she includes a few fields with device ID, authentication tokens and end-user email. While I understand the cyber security concern, still wondering if I can implement some-what email reception node in Losant workflow for email reception and payload validation. I can see only Email Send Node so far.

Thank you.

Hi @Alexander_Kondrov!

I will create a feature request for an Email Reception Trigger Node, but in the meantime, this can be done with an API that can trigger a Webhook. I have not done it myself, but this Stack Overflow question points to a couple of services and APIs that can do so, one being the Gmail API.

Let me know if I can help any further,
Julia

The most successful tool I’ve used to receive emails into Losant is Mailgun. They provide the email service and then parse and forward the details to a Losant webhook.
