# Adding an Email Trigger (SMTP) Task Step

Email Trigger (SMTP) steps triggers a task to run when an email is sent or received containing specific parameter values. These parameter values can be taken from either in the Sent From, To Recipients, Cc Recipients, Subject, or Body Text sections of the email.

In addition, global variables created for the task may be mapped to the message parameters so that their values may be used in other steps. For example, a variable called Message could be mapped to the Body Text variable and then included in an SMS text message created using the Send Text Message step.
