Import Inbox Node
- Olivia Miller
- Phil Holtz
This node applies to GlobalAction only.
Originally built as an example of how to build an Initiator Node for GlobalAction, Inbox Import allows files saved to a GlobalSearch inbox to be automatically inserted into a GlobalAction workflow. This approach removes the need for an Initiator Search, and adds the document to an Archive before continuing through the workflow process for that document.
This node will need to be downloaded from the Square 9 SDN before proceeding.
Node Properties
Title
Add a title for this node. Titles are useful when reading the history in the history of a workflow for easier understanding of the overall process.
Description
Provide a brief synopsis of what this node is doing, or make note of any important details. This is useful for providing additional information such as workflow details, use case information or even credentials.
Frequency
Includes settings for Days, Hours and Minutes. By default, this is set to 15 minutes. Setting the frequency is important for how often you’d like for this execute. For example, if there is a nightly upload we’d want this to run once every 24 hours and can set the frequency to do so.
Source Inbox
Allows for the selection of an inbox in GlobalSearch. This is where the GlobalAction workflows will pickup documents from.
Destination Archive
Allows for the selection of an archive within the database you are creating your GlobalAction workflow in.
If I choose to make a GlobalAction workflow in the SoundCoast database, then the Destination Archive will only display archives from that database.
Use Cases
Documents are being uploaded to an GlobalSearch Inbox on a nightly basis, then picked up by a GlobalAction workflow using the Import Inbox node. This is useful if you have documents with no index data but would like to move them to an archive.
