New "Email test" question

Post by don@net1media.com »

We currently have script at our customer that does a process and emails us the log file. If the script did not run, the email will not be sent.

I was attempting to use the new email test to determine if the script ran. From what I can tell, I cannot determine if an email does NOT exist.

In other words, if we received the email all is "Ok", if no email is in the mailbox, "Bad"

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,
Don

You may use "Reverse alert" option (Test properties dialog).
Just specify "Bad" filter for your e-mail (e.g. Check sender for string)
and activate "Reverse alert" option
With these settings EMail test will return "Ok" status when there is new e-mail from specified sender, otherwise, test will return "Bad" status and can trigger alert.
