[Q] Looking for app to execute events triggered by an email

[Jim Barr]

I'm looking for an application that will execute some predefined actions when an email is received from a specific contact.

Specifically, when I receive an email from a specific email address, I would like to have my Moto X raise its volume to maximum and play a notification tone unique to that contact.

I can set the notification ringtone on a contact-by-contact basis, but it's the raising the volume to Max that's stumping me.

I've looked at Tasker, AutoMagic, AutomateIT, and Llama and with just about any, I can accomplish this with SMS and any of a number of other "triggers" but I cannot seem to find a solution triggered by email.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Jim

Assuming you are using Gmail, You can do that with AutomateIt using the "New Gmail Trigger".

Take a look at this link: http://automateitapp.com/new-release-gmail-integration-and-purchase-points/

I did see that, but unfortunately, I neglected to specify that it's an Exchange account managed through the stock Email app, not Gmail.

But it is still an excellent option.

Thanks!

Kind of a workaround, but if it's an Exchange account, you can set a rule (on your exchange server, not AutomateIt) to forward specific emails to your Gmail account and then define a label on your Gmail inbox as described in the link above.
