Automatically fetch 2FA verification codes from email or Slack messages—no manual code entry required.
For TOTP codes from authenticator apps, see TOTP Integration.

Methods

MethodSourceUse Case
EmailGmail inboxCodes sent via email
SlackSlack workspaceCodes sent via Slack
Both methods follow the same pattern:
  1. Fetch messages from the source (email inbox or Slack channel)
  2. Extract the 2FA code from matching messages
  3. Store the code in the specified output_variable_name
  4. Use {output_variable_name} in subsequent actions to input the code

​
Setup

  1. Go to the Optexity dashboard → Integrations
  2. Click the desired integration → Connect
  3. Follow the prompts to grant access
