Check emal for subject line if match -> run task.

[ryan]

I would like to reboot my raspberry pi by sending a email to a gmail account.
I already have the reboot task set up but can not figure out how to (or if it is possible) to have robotask

1: check a gmail account.
2: If subject = reboot1 -> run rebootpi task
3: delete emails
4: repeat...

Thanks,
Ryan

See example below.
It checks INBOX in Gmail server
If it encounter the message with subject "reboot1" it shows the notification and removes the message from server.
You can put the "Start task" action instead of (or after) the notification.

Save the text of the task into a file and use menu Task->import to import ino RoboTask.
Of course you have to specify yourown login parameters in 1-st step.
This task uses IMAP protocol. You have to be ensure that IMAP is turned on on your Gmail account.

Thank You So Much!
I will give this a shot tonight!

I imported it But it says no events.

I just copied the text into a notepad file and saved as a .tsk



Edit: I checked my robotask and i do not have Imap options. I am running 5.2.1.681 patch #2 for 5.2 I see Imap was added in 5.8 If i update will I still be ok? I think I tried to update to 6.0 but needed to update my lisence as well?

[Oleg]

I imported it But it says no events.

You can simply attach Cyclic event with necessary period (for example 2-5 min)

... i do not have Imap options ...

I will write the example with POP3 actions a bit later. It should work.

I think I tried to update to 6.0 but needed to update my lisence as well?

I'm afraid that no. I can say more exact if you tell me your license information to oleg(at)robotask.com or to private message. I can't find your license by your nickname or email.
In any case you can purchase only "1 year of free updates" to use latest version (latest is 6.2 now) See here all payment options

[ryan]

You do not need to update it to POP3 I will update the software. It is the least I can do!

This worked good BUT did not delete the email. so it just keeps running and rebooting every time it runs.

Any ideas on why or how to delete the email.

[Oleg]

I tested the task on my Gmail account. It deletes the message successfully.
Maybe you need to tune Gmail settings? See screenshot below
