Match against emails

Catch-All

Matches all emails.

Exact match

The email can be matched against a field, currently they are:

  • from: email sender

The field’s value must be strictly equal to the value you provided in order to match.

Pattern match

The email can be matched against a field, currently they are:

  • from: from email address
  • to: To email address
  • subject: email subject

The provided value is a pattern, which allow to compare against one part of the field’s value. For instance *@example.com matches: [email protected] or [email protected].

Actions on emails
