I am using the email app (by Adam Norén). The flow I am using is not working. The credentials are valid and from the gmail dashboard I can see that the app has last connected about half an hour ago. (It is a g-suite mail adress on my own domain). When I test the flow with the subject of a recently received email, it just works. Also for an evening the flow has done its job, but when I woke up the next morning the flow wasn’t triggered anymore. It has not been working for days now… Restarting the app hasn’t worked, pulled the plug, also not fixed. Could you please help me? ![IMG_1845.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/6/76de61acf4086138f120bc05b4217c5a623c527c.jpeg) ![IMG_1846.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/ddba3a70e9d6c8e06efaf517ce17e6ae69d9460f.jpeg) ![IMG_1847.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/c/0cde89e67f928eb09105bc2c1ebc5ea0d5fac667.jpeg) ![IMG_1848](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/5/952eda4bfd8a20871aec0557cec1bac0f8049e3a.png) ---

Did you rtfm? (Sorry, a bit rude, but most people including myself don’t rtfm 😅🙈) I know you can logon, and it worked for a while, but: Could this help you out?

That’s funny. Finger’s crossed. And maybe the use of less words can help at `Email subject contains` F.i. ‘trade hopper’ ---

Hi, I can not get the app to work. The problem is that the flow does not start/detect incomming mail. The rest works… What could be wrong when it does not detect the incomming email? ![email](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/e/7e053596a1695bd53a5075e68919b5c319a5e148.png) ---
