You can use this Snap to monitor the mailbox for new or updated emails.
Snap Type
Email Listener is a Read-type Snap that monitors the mailbox for new emails.
Prerequisites
Valid Exchange Online tenant.
Valid OAUth2 application in Azure Active Directory with all the required API permissions.
Support for Ultra Pipelines
Works in Ultra Pipelines. However, we recommend that you not use this Snap in an Ultra Pipeline. To know the list of Snaps that work in Ultra and the related caveats, see Snap Support for Ultra Pipelines.
Limitations
Probability of Snap failing with short polling interval is high.
Best practice is to add retry configured in snap settings.
Requires the Email folder and the Polling Interval set to alert or poll for receiving a new email.

Record of emails received.
Error
Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:
Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Examples
Monitor receiving new emails
We use an example to monitor folder in a mailbox for new emails, where we have a Email Listener Snap which is configured to monitor the new emails delivered in the folder.
Let us configure the Snap setting in the Email Listener Snap and check how it runs and monitors the mailbox.
