In detail

What it does and what it's for

Automating the download of email attachments is now easier with the Mail IMAP integration in Botize. This feature allows you to automatically extract attachments from emails received in your IMAP inbox, simplifying the management and storage of important documents without manual intervention.

When configuring this action, you can customize parameters such as the Email ID to specify which emails to process. Additionally, the integration provides useful tags like the total number of attachments, specific details of the first file (type, name, size), and the URL for its download, enabling efficient automation tailored to your needs.

How it works

How it fits in an automated task

A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.

Pick a trigger

The event that starts the task, from this app or any other.

This action runs

Botize performs it automatically using the data the trigger delivers.

Turn it on and forget it

The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.
