Read only new emails since last execution?

[dankykang331]

I have trouble with the default IMAP module in 8n, so I'm trying to use this custom module to read emails every five minutes. Is there a way to set it up so that I will only retrieve new emails since the last time the workflow was executed?

There is a 'Date Range' filter. You could store the last execution time and pass it to the 'Since' field.

Perfect, thanks.

@dankykang331 I had problems with the default IMAP node too but to avoid a schedule every x minutes I still use the default node but only as trigger on new emails and offload all other work to @umanamente's node - works great and runs only on new mails. I thought I'd mention it in case it helps anyone.

@umanamente thank you a lot for your great node! 🥳
