Hi.
I am trying to set up an alert/notification that is triggered by an incoming email. This could be from a specific email address or simply whenever any email is received. I have successfully installed the IMAP integration but I can not figure out how to get it to fire a trigger using it. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to achieve this?
Thank you!
There are examples at the bottom of the documentation page (scroll down): IMAP - Home Assistant
Hi @tom_l ! Thank you for this. I did try it and so far can not get it to work.
Here is what I have done so far. Note that the only thing I changed in the below example is the email address. Should something else be edited for my case? I am not very fluent with HA so I am sure I am missing something obvious.
description: TEST
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: imap_content
id: custom_event
event_data:
sender: [email protected]
condition: []
action:
- service: notify.notify
data:
message: TEST
title: TEST
mode: single
Thank you!

I did not make any other changes except rebooting HA but it suddenly started working! Thanks so much!
Hi @tom_l . Sorry but one last question. How can I make it alert if I receive ANY email, not from a specific one but literally any? I tried * and that did not seem to work. Any suggestion? Thank you!
Leave out the event_data
