How to use webservice to update projects from incoming mails

Added by Sebastian Radloff almost 10 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
