Integration with Microsoft Exchange

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.

Hello, Nuxeo!

We want to use Nuxeo platform as a repository of files attached MS Exchange, in order to relieve MS Exchange. How we can do this?

If you're talking about doing this in real-time then one possible approach...write an MsExchange listener

1. Before email delivery extract the attachment(s)
2. Use Nuxeo API to create Nuxeo document - with binaries and metadata
3. Use the UID (unique ID) from Nuxeo document creation to create a hyperlink to the Nuxeo document attachment (security will be a concern here - could use a unique generated token that get's stored with attachment & embedded in URL - either way you need a mechanism to secure assets stored in Nuxeo)
4. Save the hyperlink into the yet-to-be-delivered email
5. Delete the attachment from the yet-to-be-delivered email
6. Let the mail delivery complete

This is one possible approach - the best solution in your case depends on your requirements and goals. Speed of execution, security and single object storage are all important considerations in the solution. If an off-line solution is acceptable then a similar process can apply without the same need for speed of execution.
