It's been a while since I last used FME and now it's time to start working with automations seriously. I need some help to get a quite simple one working though.
I'm attempting to do the following: whenever an email from a certain email address and with a certain concept in the subject is received, the email subject and body must be checked and parsed to write a temporary json file that will be uploaded to a server via sftp overwriting the existing file.
I already have:
- An email trigger with a Subject filter.
- A 'Sent from Address' filter action.
- A workspace action: AttributeManager and JSONTemplater transformers and a JSON writer get the important information from the subject and content of the email into a json file that is written to FME Server temp directory.
- An SFTP Directory external action: reads the json file from FME Server temp directory and writes it to a server.
The problem is that we are waiting for imap access to be enabled on the email account so I cannot test the email trigger to see how will it output a message and decide the approach to read it inside the workspace.
I enabled email.subject, email.body and email.from event keys for the success port. Will the message be a json string or will it be written as a json file inside fme server resource directory? Will it be something like this maybe?
{
"email.subject": "...",
"email.body": "...",
"email.from": "..."
}
Thanks.
