Mail Monitor Data Feeds

This topic is only applicable to Archer on-premises installations.

The Mail Monitor Transporter data feed allows you to monitor email accounts using mail fields or plain text body XML to specific fields in an application. By pulling email content into Archer, you can assess and process disparate email information, then create and document clear action plans based on the information.

When integrating an application or questionnaire with a Mail Monitor data feed, you can do the following:

  • Insert email content into an application or questionnaire.
  • Retrieve email messages, such as vulnerability alerts and open source monitoring alerts.
  • Define field mapping from email content to content records.
  • Configure mail protocols, mail servers, email accounts, and scheduling intervals.

Note: It is recommended that you configure an SSL connection to connect with the email server.

Important: For the data feed to run successfully, the server responsible for running the data feed must have a service account with valid logon credentials.
