My Node-Red and FarmOS project

Using farmOS
34

Sometimes I get stuff on email that need to be kept for a future revision of some kind.
If the mail itself is the only “document” it may not be so easy to find when the revisor ask for it.

So I came up with this idea:

bilde

The flow checks for unread mails in my Inbox\FarmOS folder. If so, it creates a log with the mail topic as the log’s name, and the mail body as the log’s note.
I also put an “Email” category to it, so it’s easy to verify them later.

I set up a mail alias and when I forward a mail to the alias, the mail is placed in the FarmOS folder.
When the flow is executed, the email node changes the mail read status.

Not too half-bad if I may say so…

Edit: Added the mail timestamp as timestamp for the log for better filtering.
