Configure import connection settings for emails

When you configure the import connector for email, you can create a document directly using the email body. The mime type of the resulting document is determined by the email format (text, RTF, HTML).

If the email body is formatted as text:

  • You can perform classification or extraction on that document.

  • After performing Image Processing on the document you can view the document in any of the Capture Client activities.

If the email body is formatted as RTF, provide customization to convert the RTF document to a supported format prior to submitting to a capture activity.

If the email body is formatted as HTML, after performing Image Processing on the document, you can perform classification or extraction on the document or view the document in any of the Capture Client activities.
