Email to Flow
You can run any viaSocket flow simply by sending an email.
How It Works
Every flow has a unique email address.
Whenever an email is sent to that address, the flow runs automatically.
Steps to retrieve the flow email address
Go to viaSocket → Create New Flow → Start from Scratch.
In Select Trigger, choose “When an email is received“— this allows the flow to receive emails.


Note: This is your unique flow email address.
Send any email to your flow’s email address and it will be visible in your flow history.
Alert: If the flow is published and has a different trigger, you cannot change to the Email trigger. You can only add an email trigger when creating a new flow.
Mail Forwarding Confirmation (only when using auto-forwarding)
If you add your flow’s email address as a forwarding address in your email provider, you must approve the confirmation.
Open your Flow History in viaSocket.
In the first webhook entry, you’ll see the confirmation link.
Click the link (or paste it into your browser) to approve.
After approval, forwarded emails will start reaching your flow normally.
Now parse data from your email content
Add the AI step in your flow.
AI can read emails, understand the content, extract information, summarize, classify, or take actions.
You can train the AI to handle specific types of emails automatically.
