Using the IMAP integration to create a custom event from an email - HELP PLEASE!

Configuration
44

There is a limit of the size of the event, so it’s best to not include the message headers if you don’t need them.

You’re going to need to look at the actual value held by the text variable. You can get it directly by using the Events tool or add a sensor to your configuration that gets the value.

      - name: Security Email Body Text
        state: "{{ trigger.event.data['text'] }}"

Once you get the value you can use the Template editor tool to figure out if the template works.

I suggest you figure out how to fix this. Some previous threads [1[2][3] using this technique have needed to have the body text decoded from base64.

AFAIK, the full contents of the event are not stored anywhere.

You can view the data from the imap_content event live, as they are received, using the “Listen for Events” function of the Events tool.

There is also an action imap.fetch which can be used to get the text, subject, sender contents of a message. However you must have extracted the uid from the event in order to use the action.
