Is it possible to use a Outlook Mail Message Trigger while outlook is closed?
I want the trigger to go off when a mail sent to a particular outlook mail, but the mail won’t be opened on the PC. How can i achieve that?
Hi,
I think it’s necessary Outlook is running when use OutlookMailMessageTrigger, according to the following description in the official document, for example.

Can you elaborate your requirement?
Regards,
Thank you very much.
I was looking at the possibility of not having to open outlook and the Outlook Mail Trigger is still triggered when the mail comes in.
No, it is not possible to use an Outlook Mail Message Trigger in UiPath while Outlook is closed. The Outlook Mail Message Trigger is designed to work when Outlook is open and running on the local machine. It relies on the Outlook application to be active and connected to the email server to receive new mail events.
If you want to achieve automation in UiPath for processing emails that are sent to a particular Outlook email address, even when Outlook is closed, you would need to use an alternative method. One approach could be to set up email forwarding from the particular Outlook email address to another email account that UiPath can access using standard email activities such as IMAP or POP3. UiPath can then monitor the designated email account for new incoming emails and trigger automation processes accordingly.
