Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Email Input
The Email Input task retrieves email data through a Microsoft Outlook or POP3 connection.
Note
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.
Note
If you use Email Input tasks to capture data encoded using a Double-Byte character set
(such as those used for Japanese 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.
