How to use webservice to update projects from incoming mails

Added by Sebastian Radloff over 8 years ago

Hi,

I’m new to openproject and linux, but was able to set the system up by the packaged installation guide.
Everything works fine and now I want to enable incoming e-mail processing.
In our company (with MS Exchange Mail Server) I would create project related addresses like:
projectname@projects.ourdomain.de

With an external tool i can read the incoming e-mails and now I would like to attach them to the corresponding project.
Should I use the “incoming e-mail webservice” that can be enabled in the system configuration ?
Is there any documentation how to query this service?

Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

there is a guide that details incoming mails setup using either POP3 or IMAP.
In essence, you’ll need to periodically run a specific rake task (i.e., a cronjob) with a configuration you devise.

You can find the guide here:

Best,
Oliver
