Microsoft Exchange EWS Reader

[ | version 3.1]

Connector

The connector is permitted for use of the platform background agent.

Connector processing type: Row by row!

This connector allows to download email messages from Microsoft Exchange by Exchange Web Services (EWS). It is used when given mailbox is not supporting REST API i.e. on-premise installations.

Using placeholders

For string properties in configuration you can use single cell placeholder which can be wrapped by other text. Typically it can be used to read messages for different users. So each input row can contain username and password to be used in configuration.

Example

  • ${input.UserName}
  • ${input.Password}

Storage data

This connector saves last read email for each username or mailbox.
