Intervals for downloading mail .. seconds
Letters from services may come with a delay, for this we indicate the time interval in seconds and the number of attempts to download the list of letters. The separator “;“ in the screenshot indicates the number of attempts. The first in 15 seconds, the second - 30 seconds, the third - 60 seconds.

Delete found e-mails

Search text in the mail
You can save the result of several regular expressions at once!
For example, the letter contains an activation code, website address, phone number, first and last name - you can get all this in one action! It is enough to compose a regular expression for each element and add variables to which the result of the work will be saved.
Regular expression
Here you need to enter a regular expression to find the desired text.
Match N.
Often there can be several results for one regular expression. The serial number of the found element is displayed here (numbering from zero!).
Save to variable
In this column, you must select an existing one or create a new variable, where the result of the regular work will be saved.
Save the error into variable
If an error occurs while the action is running, you can save its text by enabling this setting and selecting (or creating) a variable to which the text will be written.

Usage example
After registering on the site, we need to confirm your account by going to the mail, get a link to activate your account and follow it to confirm your account.
We register on the site.
Add the Accept Mail action to the project and configure it.
We get the activation link from the desired letter.
Follow the link.
Our account has been activated.
With massive actions on sites, working without a browser saves time and resources. The project will not load the mail service site. Thus, the action will allow you to quickly process information in mailboxes.
