can the Email Polling System be used to parse email?

Confluence User - 15 Mar, 2016

Hello,

I am new to Joget so please excuse my ignorance.

I see that the email polling system actually has similar characteristics as an email parsing feature, where i can instruct the software to look for patterns and use the information in the incoming email to then start or continue a workflow?

Does Joget offer an email mailbox that the system can monitor and retrieve emails into?

If so can I have multiple accounts to do the same?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Are you referring to Email Polling System app? You can check the attached app in the article on how it is works. It actually just a BeanShell script triggered by Deadline. The email parsing is using regex.

Hello Owen,

I am new to Java and not familiar with Beanshell or Deadline.

My question was if I can use the email polling system for another purpose (not a poll) since it is scanning the email for a structured wording, this can also be used for email parsing (scanning the email for an expected structured piece of information - the opposite of mail merge).

Thanks,

Oren

Hi, That Email Polling System app does indeed scan emails like what you described. The polling here means continuous checking of email http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/polling.
