# Elements of the flow - email received

The `email received` element can be used to start a flow when an email is sent to the email address generated in the element.

**Configuration**

1️⃣ The email address to which the email can be sent is created automatically by the system and can be taken from here.

2️⃣ Email addresses can be entered in the input field for the authorised senders, which are then used as the only authorised senders. In addition to the manual entry of email addresses, participants can also be selected. The email address stored in the system for the respective user account is then used.

|| ⚠️ If no authorised senders are stored, the system accepts emails from any sender.
