30 triggers, queries, and actions
New attachment
Polling trigger

This trigger fires every time a new email with an attachment arrives in your inbox.
New conversation
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when a conversation starts in your Gmail inbox: a message gets its first reply and a back-and-forth begins. It fires once per conversation, not on every reply.
New email
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires every time a new email arrives in your Gmail inbox.
New email matching search
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires every time an email newly matches your Gmail search, whether it just arrived or just changed to match.
New label
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.

New sent email
Polling trigger

This trigger fires every time you send an email from your Gmail account, typically within a few minutes of the send. This includes emails your Applets send.
New starred email
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires the first time you star an email in your Gmail account. It checks your most recently received starred emails, so starring a much older email might not fire it.

A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.

Get attachment by filename
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.

Get conversation
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
