Ticketing system - harvest emails from IMAP account

The recommended method of customizing your AppGini-generated application is through hooks. But sometimes you might need to add functionality not accessible through hooks. You can discuss this here.

Ticketing system - harvest emails from IMAP account

Post by jmacdougall » 2021-08-18 15:44

I am building a helpdesk ticketing system. Many ticketing systems harvest email requests (email piping) from an external source such as an email account connected via IMAP. It will then I guess "parse" info into a TICKET table and populate fields accordingly. Is this a possibility with AG ?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible.

I have recently programmed an IMAP interface using PHPs imap_* functions for reading UNSEEN emails in different subfolders of INBOX, parsing contents and importing parsed data into an AppGini table.

I cannot post the code here, but you can PM me if you have specific, detailed questions.
Kind regards,
