Configure an IMap or POP3 Importer

The IMap and POP3 importers watch an email inbox and automatically import email attachments in TIFF or PDF format into Intelligent Capture. Once imported, the documents will travel down the workflow specified during configuration. The importers check for new email attachments every minute.

1. In the Host box, enter the incoming mail server for IMap or POP3.
2. In the Port box, enter the IP port for IMap or POP3 communication.

3. Enter the username and password used to access the email inbox in the Username and Password boxes.

   Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.

   

4. Click Save.

Email importer metadata

The following information is captured from received emails when using an email importer. These values can be used in fields where Data field substitution is supported.

Values can also be saved to data fields by adding text type data fields with the metadata name as the name. For example, you may use @FromName as the name with a display name of "User Name".

MetaData Name	Value
@FromEmail	The email address of the sender.
@FromName	The display name of the sender.
@EmailMessageId	The email message ID.
@EmailDateTime	The email date and time.
@EmailHeader_xxxx	The message header. xxxx is the header name that was found on the message. Note: Headers can vary based on how the email was sent and processed. The most common header is Subject, so you would use @EmailHeader_Subject.
