# Email

> Receive documents via an auto-generated email address.

The email trigger gives your pipeline a unique, auto-generated email address. Any documents attached to emails sent to this address are extracted and processed individually through the pipeline. The email address is displayed in the pipeline settings after you add this trigger.

## Configuration

| Field                     | Type | Required | Description                                      |
| ------------------------- | ---- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| No configuration required | -    | -        | The email address is auto-generated per pipeline |

## Inputs and outputs

**Allowed inputs:** None. This is a trigger node and starts the pipeline.

**Output:** Each attachment, passed to the next connected node individually. If an email contains multiple attachments, each attachment starts a separate run.
