  • Compatible Control Room version: 42416 or later
What's new

Automation development on macOS

Citizen developers and professional automation experts can now develop and run automations on macOS platforms on their devices. This package has been enhanced to support macOS, ensuring a uniform development and portability experience.

The Email trigger is now available for macOS. You can now create triggers that start automations on macOS when a new email arrives in the mail box.

2.15.0

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 22.60.15 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 23009 or later
Fix
Create a bot using the Email Connect action within a loop and connect to your Gmail account using IMAP. Select a date/time to retrieve specific emails on or after a certain date. The emails are now retrieved from the mail server without any issues.

Previously, when the mail server's date changed to the day before the Bot agent device date, emails that came after midnight on the mail server were not read.

2.14.1

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.210 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 13980 or later
What's new
Support for Control Room managed OAuth2 authentication in Email Trigger package (Service Cloud case ID: 02105142, 02110420, 02108734)

Google has announced the deprecation of Less Secure Apps (LSAs) to connect to Google Workspace using a username and password. Starting September 30, 2024, access to LSA will be turned off for all Google Workspace accounts. To help reduce the risk of deprecation, we introduced a new Control Room managed OAuth2 mode of authentication in the Email trigger package that allows you to connect to an email server. This authentication mode is secure and uses the centralized access token management from the Control Room.

Creating an email trigger

2.13.0

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.210 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 13980 or later
Fix
The email trigger now works correctly and triggers tasks on every email sent or received.

Previously, the trigger listener was not working intermittently and was unable to process tasks even if the emails were sent multiple times.

2.10.2-20230106-091325

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.210 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 13980 or later
Fixes
The bot no longer encounters any error when you use Email > Outlook client where the Subject contains double quotes or has space in it.
When you create a bot using an Email trigger, the output of the trigger can be assigned to the Record type variable. You cannot assign the output to multiple variables because the Multiple variables option is not supported in the Email triggers.
