Event Triggers

Run a published workflow when a team inbox email or supported message matches your flow.

React To Incoming Messages

Event triggers listen for messages in your workspace inbox. When the subject and content match your rule, Ramain starts the workflow and can extract inputs from the email body.

Event triggers configured for a workflow

Add An Email Trigger

  1. Open Triggers and select a Published workflow.
  2. Open the Event tab.
  3. Enter an email subject trigger.
  4. Set a subject match and optional instructions for extracting workflow inputs from the message.
Create an email event trigger

The instructions should say what to extract in plain language. If the workflow has no structured inputs, describe the request directly.

Tips

  • Prefer a subject phrase specific enough not to fire on unrelated mail.
  • Publish the workflow before creating Event triggers.
  • Keep extraction instructions aligned with workflow input variable names.
  • Use Inbox to inspect received messages that match the team address.
