Is there an email connector to read an email?

Q&A

I would like to know if there is any documentation for a connector that could monitor an inbox for an email that would either start or continue a process

thanks

No is the answer to that, you have two options, write your own, or save the email to a tomcat accessible folder and then having a bonita process that interrogates the folder for unprocessed emails (*.eml files or something like that) every hour or every 15 minutes or whatever you prefer.

You could also maybe at the time an email arrives dump it to the folder, then fire off the process via a rest process call…

Lots of ways, but nothing direct like what you’re asking.

I can’t give you technical details. But it seems that the functionality you need has message event. I even have seen video lesson how to create message start event.

More information required.

Where is the inbox? Client machine or server machine?

Format of the email?

For example:

I’m using (thunderbird||outlook) as a email client, on a (users||server) PC and would like a process to start automatically when a message is received containing the text ABCQWERTY

The previous message by shpak is out of context and will not work in this respect, apologies shpak, that is for internal Messgae processing not emails.

I would like to read an email off of a server, like gmail or our own domain.
