MSGraph Email Poller

Overview

Need to poll emails from your Exchange server? This smart service can be used in a poller process and extract the data from the Microsoft Exchange server. Messages are stored in the Appian Document System, as well as the attachments. Meta data is stored in a database table for further processing.

This plug-in provides an alternative to sending emails to an Appian process model when inbound email integration is requested. Instead of the email being forwarded to Appian, this plug-in reads the emails directly from the Exchange mailbox using the MS Graph API as described below:

  • Reads the mailbox using the MS Graph API
  • Convert the email to an EML file stored as an Appian document; Item attachments (calendar invites, messages) are kept in the eml file, File attachments removed from it and stored separately in the document management system.
  • Store all email file attachments as separate Appian documents
  • Store all email metadata (subject, author, recipients, etc...) into a set of tables in the database

Key Features & Functionality

All information how to deploy, configure and use the smart service is in the 'MS Graph Mail Poller.pdf' document in the downloaded zip. Extract the files in the ZIP and follow the instructions in the document.

  • Hello luismiguelc. We too had an issue with the processed and exception folders not being populated.  We found that the folders needed to be named so that they appear within the first couple of folders of the email account.  We used underscores in front of the folder names like _Poller Processed and _Poller Failed for our folder names.  Within the process model MS Graph Mail Poller node, we entered the value ="_Poller Processed" for the Processed Folder Name parameter and ="_Poller Failed" for the Exception Folder Name.  This resolved the issue for us.  I'm not familiar with your second issue.
