I have developed a bot which would be triggered when an email is received to a specific email inbox. Have developed this bot and checked in the code in public to test this automation in UAT.

Under Mange → Event trigger i have added a trigger for this Task bot and its automatic deployment is in enabled state. 

Yet when i send email to that mail id my automation is not getting auto triggered.

What should i do in this case ? My expectation is the bot should be triggered when an email is received to its mail box.

Am i missing out any other settings ? How should i make this configurations to deploy a bot with auto trigger ?

What is the email client? I have one set up with Microsoft 365 Outlook Trigger that works just fine, have not tried it with a GMail or other connection. If you could let us know the client it will help us help you troubleshoot.

While investigating Outlook triggers in Power Automate, this is what I had observed. When an email arrives in Outlook, the email is considered a “New Email”. New Emails in the inbox trigger events. If you have an Outlook rule setup to move that email to a different folder, that email is no longer New. It avoids the New Email trigger and puts the email in the different folder. But the email is no longer considered New; it does not post a New event.

I had to setup the trigger on the inbox and make the bot responsible for moving the email to the desired folder. Had to take the Outlook rules out of the equation. 

I hope this provides some insight, or prompts further discussion. I am trying to figure out AA Outlook 365 triggers and how one manipulates the emails. I don’t understand the need for a loop with an email trigger.
