Hi,

I would like to receive a price list from a supplier.

I have a BizApi for that, but I think I need to receive XML as a message.

Is it possible to get that incoming message from an e-mail? And how is that setup?

I have a Connector Reader called MAIL_READER1. If I setup an inbox here, where will I then find the messages?

I’m on IFS9.

Hi @krestensb ,

 

Each attachment in the mail are being read as separate application message. You can setup content based routing rules to call your BizApi with xml(s) in the attachment as the input.

If you need to read the content ofthe mail body, tick the parse body option in the mail reader.

As I remember, message content is read as non-xml and mail should be format as plain text to parse the body.

 

Cheers!
