Email - SMTP
The Email - SMTP trigger allows you to configure email addresses to receive messages from SMTP email clients, and send the email data to FME Flow as JSON.
The Email - SMTP trigger has two output ports. The success port (✔) can send a message if the trigger receives successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the trigger fails to receive.
To use the Email - SMTP trigger, you must first make sure your FME Flow is properly configured to receive email. For more information see Configuring FME Flow to Receive Email.
Parameters
- Email User Name:
- To email FME Flow directly, enter the user account name to receive the email on the FME Flow host system. For example, if the FME Flow host name is services.internal, and the email address is user@services.internal, enter user.
- To email a separate server that relays the email to FME Flow, enter the user name of the email address on the email server. For example, if the email address is user@company.com, enter user.
Note A rule must be configured on the email server that relays emails for the specified Email User Name on to FME Flow. The rule must specify the FME Flow machine name and SMTP port. To determine the port, see Configuring FME Flow to Receive Email. - Download Attachments To: (Optional) Specify a location to download any attachments.
- Select a Resources folder (...).
- Enter your own location. Directory paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
If not specified, any attachments are saved to the following default temporary folder:
$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM)/temp/emailattachments/<date>-<automation_name>-<email_subject>-<automation_id>\<filename>.
If specified, the following subfolder is created in the specified location:
<specifiedLocation>/<date>-<automation_name>-<email_subject>-<automation_id>/<filename>
If <specifiedLocation> is invalid, attachments are saved to the default temporary folder.
If <automation_name>, <email_subject>, or <filename> contains invalid characters, these characters are stripped. Invalid characters are \/:*?\"<>|&='+%#. Whitespace characters are converted to _.
