Best way to parse inbound email

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi

I have setup a folder to accept inbound emails directly. Once the email arrives in Alfresco, it is separated into 3 parts, the attachement, a HTML file of the email, and a document with no real type but also contains the content of the email.

What is the best/fastest/easiest way to parse either the HTML or content of the email directly via a rule so that whenever an email comes into the folder, the content is extracted and inserted as metadata for the attachment.

Thanks

This project parses inbound email - GitHub - malariagen/alfresco-discussions: Customizations to Alfresco Site Discussions  so you should be able to get some clues from there.

You'll want to look at discussions-platform-jar - this uses a behaviour rather than a rule

Hope that helps.
