# About the Email Trigger (SMTP) Tool

The Email Trigger (SMTP) Tool is used to create a Task Step that triggers a Task to run based on the contents of incoming or outgoing mail sent via a virtual SMTP Mail Server.

When an email is received it is compared against a number of filters created in the Step which define values for the message parameters. Where all filter requirements are met the message is utilised to trigger a Task to run. On receipt, each of the email parameters is exposed and their values may be mapped to variables created for the Task and then used in other Steps.

For example, a Task is created to monitor for email messages received from any of the Sales team for a specific product and then to supply the information directly to the appropriate Product Manager.

This is achieved by creating a Email Trigger (SMTP) Step that selects email messages received containing the Sales team and product names. The message Body Text and From values are then mapped to variables. A Email Trigger (SMTP) Step is created and the variables dropped into the message body. When the Task is run an email is then sent to the Product Manager to show details of the message sender and the message itself.
