Using Exchange Web Services for email

AFAIK Appian is supporting only pop3, imap, or imaps protocols. Or you can create a plugin to integrate with the Exchange Web Services.

Thank you. Do you have a sample of Appian plug-in for this purpose that can be shared?

Currently, I don't have plugin to achieve this functionality. I have started working on it and will share once it is completed.

Yes, please share when you have it.

I have completed with the plugin development(EWS integration to send an email) and submitted to forum. I will share with you once I got approval from cloud!

Why is there a restriction to contact the Exchange only via WS??? Using the standardized SMTP protocol is lot more secure and standard.

Hi Vinod,

Our usecase is to receive the emails. We are also trying to develop the plug-in but ran into the following exception. Please suggest. Appreciate your help!

com.appiancorp.suiteapi.process.exceptions.SmartServiceException: microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.core.exception.service.remote.ServiceRequestException: The request failed. com.appiancorp.common.xml.AppianXMLInputFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory

The following is the line in our code causing the above exception.

FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.findItems(folder.getId(), view);

We think it is classloader issue, but where and how to control the classloading for plug-in?

Looks, the code is correct to find items. Can you check that you have using all necessary jars?

You can find all the required jars related to EWS at forum.appian.com/.../summary

Yes, Vinod.. I think we have all required jars. If you have time to review code, I can post here. Please help!
