How to use Email Received activity with REframework?

The image shows a configuration screen for a workflow in Microsoft Outlook 365 with a trigger error indicating that "Email Received" should be the first activity and cannot be placed inside a Flowchart or State Machine activity. (Captioned by AI)

Hi @ext-o

You should open a new workflow, then you can use it as first activity in the worklow.

Regards.

The REFramework doesnt really support this properly, since the REFramework is about transactional processing rather than linear processing, and triggers are linear based.

If you want the REFramework for error handling purposes and because you are taking actions on that mail, I’d recommend making a separate project, which is event triggered like this and therefore linear, and have that make a queue item for the Performer that uses the REFramework to handle all the mails after they are triggered.

It would be great if the integration service could both trigger jobs AND make queue items as currently it can only trigger jobs.
