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(including digitally signed emails) using the MS Graph API
• Convert the email to an EML file stored as an Appian document, with attachments removed from it
• Store all email attachments as separate Appian documents
• Store all email metadata (subject, author, recipients, etc...) into a set of tables in the database
