Monitor the SMTP Dataset of a Process Started by a Mail Trigger

When valid XML content in email triggers a process instance, you can monitor the SMTP process dataset with Process Watch. Use the following field descriptions to interpret the displayed values.

SenderAddress

The email address of the account from which the triggering email is sent.

SentDate

The date and time when the email was sent.

ReceivedDate

The date and time when the server received the email.

MailSubject

Subject of the triggering mail.

MessageNumber

Message number of the triggering mail at the time when the process was triggered.

Note: This number can change for the same mail, if messages are deleted or moved from the Inbox.

MessageID

Unique ID of the mail in the server.

MailBody

The body of the email message in these cases:

• When valid XML content in an attachment triggers the process.
• When the default trigger process is started, that is, when no valid XML content is found in either the email body or attachment.

Note: This string value is truncated to the first 64k characters in the mail body.

MailAttachments

A ValueMap array type variable which holds ValueMaps with the following information about the attachments:

1. contentType: Attachment content type.
2. contentID: Attachment contentID if present.
3. fileURL: URL from which attachment can be viewed or downloaded.
4. name: Name of the attachment.
5. attachmentID: Unique ID for this attachment. This ID can be passed to JavaScript system functions.

   Note: See the Content Designer Reference for details about the JavaScript system functions.

<additional parameters>

These parameters, passed under the <params> tag in the triggering XML content, exist only when valid XML content in the mail body or attachment starts the CA Process Automation process.
