Hi, I have created process model to be initiated through Receive Mess

sariqs over 9 years ago

Hi,

I have created process model to be initiated through Receive Message event from an email. I am receiving an email along with number of attachments which I have configured to be stored in a particular directory in Appian using 'msg!properties'.'Attachments' property. It is working fine and documents are being stored correctly in the desired directory however my problem is when the documents are stored in the directory particular suffix is being added at the end of the document name.

For an example if I have file "acme.docx" file as an email attachment its being stored as "acme_20150430_083745835_0.docx" in the Appian directory. I want to have the documents stored with the same name in our case "acme.docx" only for proper identification. Is there a way I can achieve this ?

Any references will be much appreciated. Thanks.

You can't change this behavior but you can rename the documents and remove the suffix using your preferred parsing logic with the Edit Document Properties Smart Service forum.appian.com/.../Edit_Document_Properties_Smart_Service.html

Hi Eduardo,

Thanks for the reply. In my case it would be more than one document hence I was thinking to create a custom smart service using some apis from ContentService (if its available) rather than invoking Edit Document properties smart service for each document. Please let me know.

That will work too. Refer to the Java Docs of the Appian API for more information.
