Check Email

Purpose

Scan the monitored inbox for incoming messages that have not yet been recorded in the processed-message log.

Instructions

1. •Call poll_inbox to retrieve messages received since the last poll timestamp
2. •For each message, check whether its ID exists in the processed-message log
3. •If the ID is already recorded, skip the message entirely — take no action
4. •For each new message, create a Task entry with status Pending and log the receipt
5. •Determine whether the message is a client email or a feedback item:
   • •If the subject matches the configured feedback label pattern → route to categorize-feedback
   • •Otherwise → route to respond-to-client
6. •Return the list of new Task IDs for downstream processing

Error Handling

• •If the inbox is unreachable: log a warning with full error context and skip this cycle
• •If credentials are expired: emit a Critical alert immediately via AlertService
• •If the API rate-limits the request: wait 30 seconds and retry once; if still rate-limited, skip this cycle and log a warning

Expected Output

A list of Task IDs (may be empty if no new messages arrived).
