Using an HTTP Call to Set Outlook Email Status
You can use an HTTP call to set Outlook emails to “unread” or ”read” status. An example of where you might find this functionality useful is in the case of a mailbox attached to a project where there is a steady accumulation of email and you need to keep the unread queue clear. Being able to set unread mails as read will meet this need.
This ability was added in the 4.10.0 release of AIQ.
Process
In your main script, call markAsReadOrUnread(), with these parameters:
-
emailId = id of the email to update the read status.
-
isRead = true if the user wants to mark the email as read, otherwise should be false to mark it as unread.
-
mailSender = active user
-
folder = working folder where is the email.In your main script, call for
markAsReadOrUnread(),parameters
