Not able to populate email metadata in content server 10.5 using lapi

Kevin_Baker

Hi All,
I am uploading .msg files as subtype 749 but I am not able to populate email metadata columns such as To, From, Subject. Does anybody has an idea how do we accomplish that. I am using LAPI with content server 10.5

Regards
Harsh

Hi Harsh,

I had the same requirement. I ended up adding logic to parse the msg files and extract the email metadata such as To, From, Conversation, .... on the client side (in my case using JavaScript). Then I constructed an http request that mimics a lapi request to upload the email plus it's metadata. 

So lapi can be used as a protocol to upload emails plus metadata to CS 10.5 but you will have to provide the email metadata because it is not automatically done server-side.

Hope this helps.
