On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Email Input
Email Input retrieves email data through a Microsoft Outlook or POP3 connection.
If Microsoft Outlook connection is used, Microsoft Outlook 2000 or higher must be installed on the computer where
PlanetPress Workflow is located.
Input
Email Input captures all emails and their attachments from the selected inbox, when those emails correspond to the rules
defined in the General tab. If no rule is defined, all emails in the inbox are retrieved. Emails retrieved using POP3 are deleted
from the server, emails retrieved from an Outlook inbox are moved to the Deleted Items folder by default.
Processing
Depending on the options selected below, each email is converted into a text-only data file, and each attachment is separated
from the email.
Output
Depending on the options, each email is sent as a data file, followed by each of its attachments sequentially.
If you use Email input tasks to capture data encoded using a Double-Byte character set (such as those used for Jap-
anese or Chinese, for instance), it is preferable to use attachments rather than the email body to carry the data from
its source to the input task, as data corruption is less likely to occur using this method.
Email input task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Data Location group
l Message body: Select to use the data found in the body of the email.
l Attached file: Select to use the data found in the email’s attachment. If both the Message body and
Attached files options are selected, the message’s body and the message’s attachment are treated as sep-
arate data files and processed one after the other.
l Unzip attached file: Select to unzip the attached files.
l Zip password: Enter the password required to unzip the attached files (if any). Note that you can use
variables and data selections.
l Conditions group
l “Subject” contains: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those with a specific subject. The sub-
ject you enter in the box below can include variables and wildcards.
l Nothing: Select to limit those messages used by this task to those that do not specify any subject.
