Hi @Charan 3219,

When using Email Triggers in Automation Anywhere A360 with Outlook, the Outlook application does not necessarily need to be open

To summarize:

  • Microsoft 365/Exchange: Outlook does not need to be open.
  • Local Outlook Client: Outlook might need to be open to ensure real-time email processing.
