Automate workflow: receive email feed then publish as news item

Hi,
Each week, news is sent from an external email account to a wide distribution. Each week, I manually copy that email into the BC News module and publish it on the webiste. I also manually update the "Subject" and "Expiry" fields.
Is there a some way to automate this? I was hoping there might be a Web App that would act as an email recipient. Upon receiving the email, the webapp would:
Duplicate subject field from email to subject field in news item
Duplicate content from email to content in news item
Set the expiry date to be recived-date + 2 weeks (or some arbitrary value)
Publish the news item
Send a confirmation mail to the administrator, indicating a news item has been automatically published
I'm not concerned about securing the email feed from spammers.
Thanks,
Matt.

Thanks Liam.
As a follow up, does BC expose an API for the News module? Perhaps I can write my on WebApp for this?
Matt.

TS3899 Having issues receiving emails and then they dissapearing

I am experiencing problems with one of the 3 emails accounts on my iPhone 4. One of my bellsouth (att) accounts and my gmail accounts receive emails and are kept on the inbox. However my other bellsouth email account receives the emails but does not keep them on the inbox. They disappear without me deleting them. Can anybody hekp me fix this issue?

check the accounts settings in settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go to that account under 'accounts' at the top, and see if there are any settings that could influence that. if you don't see anything like archiving or the behavior of your archive box or anything, then it's not an issue with the phone or its settings - it's something that needs to be changed at the website on a computer where you can check your mail

I cannot receive emails in Thunderbird from my new email account

I have a new email address that I have set up in Thunderbird exactly the same as the others, but although I can send emails from it, I cannot receive them?
(I get the error message: "Sending of password for user -email address here- did not succeed. Mail server mail.lcn.com responded: Authentication failed.")
It is not a problem with my hosting account, as I can emails in their webmail, I just can't get them in Thunderbird?
What's gone wrong? Can you help?

Glad you have got it sorted!!

User not receiving emails regarding approval notifications

Hi,
SRM system has been upgraded to 5.0.
User is not receiving emails regarding Approval notifications. However, the user is able to view the SCs pending for his approval in his approval list.
I checked the transmission of the emails, the approval notifications are sucessfuly sent and the email of the user is correctly maintained. I tried resending the emails, and the user didnt receive emails even then.
Could be please advice what could the error.
Thanks
Hemanth

Hello Hemanth Kumar,
If approval mail:
- is correctly generated,
- you can see it in SOST transaction,
- request status in SOST is OK,
this means SAPconnect is working fine, so your problem does not come from SAP.
You have to check your STMP gateaway and your mail server.
Regards.
Laurent.

Automatically receive emails - function has stopped

My BB has stopped receiving emails automatically.   I need to turn off the connection and turn it on again to see the "arrows" and receive email. Very frustrating. I receive emails on my computer and as I say, they have stopped coming in to my BB automatically on their own. I am not a business customer - do not have an enterprise server or IT department. I'm on my own.
I have no clue why this happens. Maybe I changed or a setting was changed somewhere, but I have no clue and cannot find an answer to this anywhere.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Several things could have happend...have you modified the settings within BIS? If not, then try these things:
1) With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
2) Register HRT:
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > BBKey (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
3) Resend Service Books:
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
If, after about 15 minutes or so, emails are still not coming in (be sure to send yourself a test one so that there will truly be a "new" email), then deleting and re-creating the BIS conduit for that email account would be your next step.
Good luck and let us know!

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

HT1694 I changed my hotmail password. I then changed that password in settings, it receives emails on my iPad but won't send emails and gives me message that my password is incorrect.

I changed my hotmail password. I then changed the password in settings, now my device iPad will receive emails but gives me an error message when I send emails that password is incorrect. How do I fix it?

Try this. Go deeper into the settings.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

HT2954 My receive function on the email gets just the first email and then stops

My receive function on the email gets just the first email and then stops, but the wheel keeps turning like it is looking. What can I do to get it functioning again. This program has been steady for several years so something in it is tweaked. Other computers can access the account just fine. If I shut down the mail program and start it up again it will get the same email and then go into the spinning mode again. Is there a file I can delete to reset the account. I have tried to re input the SMTP data but no luck. Any Ideas?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

HT1430 I am having problems receiving emails on my mini ipad, if my wi fi is not on for say 2 days then I switch it on it will not give me the last 3 days emails, only the day I am on.

I am having problems receiving emails on my ipad mini, if my wi fi has been off for 3 days for eg. when I switch it on it will only send me emails from that day and not from the previous 3 days

Have you already looked at these emails on a computer?

Can I have Thunderbird automatically send an email to my printer upon arrival? Maybe set a filter to route it to a folder which then sends to printer?

I am setting up a client to receive emails from an online service request form.... he's not tech saavy and wants all incoming emails to print out on his printer upon arrival. When he gets in at the end of the day, he wants a stack of printed emails/forms from which he can return calls. I know this can be done in MS Outlook (ugh)... hoping you can do the same or better!! I'm a longtime user and rely on Tbird...

Note that you can add other actions in the same filter.

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

Unable to receive email in HTML format on BB Torch 9860 with BIS

I recently purchased BB Torch 9860 with OS 7 and configured by personal and work email on BIS. I am receiving emails only in text format. In some emails with images that have hyperlink, I just see a link and images not displayed. All the images comes as an attachment in the email. My friend having another BB Torch is able to view emails as HTML. But he is with BES.
Is there any solution for my issue? I am not receiving any options in the email preference to enable HTML format for emails.
Appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
Regards,
Midhun
