The Email Approver System included in this article acts as a email polling system that fetches emails and complete assignments periodically based on configurations.
...
Subject and Content Patterns are very important.
Make sure that you match the content of the outgoing mail that you send out in your other Joget Workflow App.

If there is a match based on the subject or the content, the code block will then retrieve the email's sender information (email) and matches it with an existing user in the system.
If there's a match with an user and if there's a further match with the particular user's assignment, then it will then proceed to complete the assignment.
...
You can configure this section if you want the listener to automatically reply to email that it matches.
