Automatically attaching emails to requests

Hi,

Is it possible to automatically apply emails to requests as we receive many updates? 

I believe the current function takes the reference number from the subject line but I was wondering if the system could do it without user input.

Thank you.

If you navigate to Admin->Platform Configuration->Email->Inbound Routing Rules you will be able to automatically action emails before they arrive in the relevant mailbox.

The documentation for this is on the Hornbill Wiki.

Once you have reviewed that documentation please post back here with any questions and we will be happy to assist.

Thanks for your help. I can't seem to work at what needs to be entered into the expression. I have attached the image below. I'm assuming it will be a "like" expression but what follows that I'm clueless.

The Expression

REGEX_MATCH(subject, '.*\b[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{8}\b.*')

will pick up any Subject line containing a valid Request Reference and apply it to the Request.

 

You may wish to include additional checks but that is the most basic method of automatically updating Requests from email.

Just a final point, is there a way to make sure it only updates open requests?
