Have you set up your email area correctly and sent yourself a test message?

Check the console is running the rule. I have exactly the same rule except I use "less than" and I check it every hour. In the console it says "Checking Rules" when it is checking the rules. The check is done on the System interval which is set in the Setup window in the General tab.

You have to add it to the Cumulus Files processed in the Configuration / Internet / Files tab and either upload it (I need to as my pages are php based) or just leave the uplaod are blank and tick the Process box.

Toolbox looks for the tmp file left behind by this process.

What exactly is a "Web Tag". I've had no luck looking for a definition of a Web Tag.

That is what the Toolbox is referring to! Jeez, and I couldn't pick up on that. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. However, I still feel like a dope for not realizing what was meant by Web Tag. :oops:
