Overview
This version is for Appian 25.1 and above. Cloud customers on a lower version of Appian that want to install this plugin should open a support case. Self-managed customers can download the latest JAR for Appian 25.1 and later from the AppMarket.
Enhancement to the plug-in to enable the selection of whether or not to include the email attachments as part of the EML document. Previously, the plug-in would create an EML document with the attachments stripped out. Our client needs to preserve the original e-mail as it was sent (for auditing purposes), so the EML must include the attachments as part of it. This update extends the functionality to allow the user to select whether they want an EML with the attachments removed (original functionality), an EML with attachments included, or both (2 EMLS of original email - one without the attachments included and one with the attachments included). Any e-mail attachments will continue to be saved separately.
Key Features & Functionality
Takes all unread email from a mailbox and adds entries directly to a database table.The original email is saved as an EML based on three attachment type options
Each email attachment is saved as its own document. The database tables store the Appian document ids, email recipients, subject and body (text and HTML)
I’ve tested the new version — it’s working as expected. Thanks a lot, Mike Cichy and matt.cosenza
Please try out the new version and let us know if it performs as expected.
That is correct!
Hi Matt,
Thanks for sharing the plugin.
Just to confirm — this plugin allows us to create and read .eml files based on the inputs we provide (like to, from, subject, document, eml, etc.), but it doesn't actually poll or fetch emails directly from a Gmail account, right?
Sure! here's the one we use the most: community.appian.com/.../create-read-email-files-utilities
Hi Mike,
Just checking in—has the plugin update been made? Any updates on the fix for the Jakarta library issue?
We’re currently preparing to revert our Appian environment back to version 25.1 due to this issue, and unfortunately, this involves a risk of losing data and documents. Any help or update would be greatly appreciated.
Just checking in—any update on the fix for the plugin issue related to the Jakarta library?
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the update.
May I ask which plugin you're using for the same email polling functionality? It would be helpful to know if it's available on the Appian AppMarket.
turns out our issue was with a different plug-in but the same functionality. Appian Support responded quickly with an updated plug-in to handle the jakarta lib issue and it's working fine now!
