Email Received (SMTP)
The Email Received (SMTP) trigger allows you to configure email addresses to receive messages from SMTP email clients, and send the email data to FME Server as JSON.
The Email Received (SMTP) trigger has two output ports. The success port (✔) can send a message if the trigger receives successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the trigger fails to receive.
To use the Email Received (SMTP) trigger, you must first make sure your FME Server is properly configured to receive email. For more information seeConfiguring FME Server to Receive Email.
Note: ">Note:The Email Received (SMTP) trigger is not supported in afault tolerantinstallation of FME Server. Consider using theEmail Received (IMAP)trigger instead.
