I am trying to create RPA-like tasks. I need to check for incoming emails for two-factor authentication.

Hi @vernal mica. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain any information about using IMAP or checking for and retrieving incoming emails within Trigger.dev tasks. The documentation covers sending emails (e.g., via Resend, SMTP, or AWS SES) and handling authentication for self-hosting, but there is no mention of IMAP support or built-in functionality for reading incoming emails in tasks. If you need to implement RPA-like workflows that require reading emails, you may need to integrate an external IMAP client library within your task code, but this is not documented or officially supported in the provided sources.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
