I have made a mail monitor data feed to create records from mails sent by users. So far I could only copy the content of those mails and not any documents that have been attached to the mails.
I checked the transform file used by the data feed and there is no trace of attachments. And when checking the eml file generated by the data feed in the data feed directory there is also no trace of them. The files are also not copied to the file repository.
Does someone know if there is a way to customize the data feed to have it take the documents from a mail and attach them to a record?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Paco
Paco, currently the mail monitor data feeds cannot consume attachments.

I am looking to add a simple webhook to Slack my team git diffs when certain files on certain branches are updated. The webhook is working, however I am only sending plain text. I'd like to be able to send the payload so it appears the same as if a user were to 'Add Attachment' and set the type to 'Diff'.
All the docs I can find are about sending media or unfurling links like youtube or cnn. Could someone point me in the right direction. I tried creating a bot to read the JSON of a similar message, but it seems much more complex than I expected, with fields like url_private_download which I wasn't expecting. All I got, was that it is uploaded as an attachment.
Here are two ways how you could send information about a git diff to Slack: Attachments and File uploads
Attachments can contain text and one image. They are limited in size, but you can add up to 20 (official recommendation) / 100 (hard limit) to one message. They work with all methods for sending messages, including the incoming webhook you mentioned as requirement.
File uploads mean that you are literally uploading a file to you Slack team. You need to share it in a channel to make it visible as new post. It can not be attached to a normal message, but you can add comments to it. This will not work with incoming webhooks though. You will need need to use the API method file.upload to upload and share your file. Slack supports a variety of file types, but for a git diff I would recommend "text".
I have created an email template using Outlook 2013. In this template I have some images hosted on the web.
When i send the mail everything is seen Ok on the various Outlook version. But when the mail is seen on the Blackberry My mail seems ok but at the end of the mail, the images are also listed as attachments. So I see the correct template and the list of images. How can i prevent this behaviour? I need to keep the same behaviour as in the Outlook version (not display the listing of the images as attachments at the end of the mail)
Could you point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much.
As far as I know, there is no way to prevent Outlook from sending images as MIME attachments. Other Outlooks will interpret them correctly, whereas most email clients will see them at attachments.
A colleague of mine is a small builder here in London. He works all over town. He uses many different suppliers.
Most suppliers send him their sales invoice via email when he buys something.
My friend could set up a gmail address to be used only by suppliers. But could emails sent to it be "automagically" processed and their contents inserted into a google spreadsheet ?
What is the relative practicality of what I've outlined ?

So, your query finally boils down to two questions:
Save PDF attachments from Inbox to Google Drive
Parse PDFs and store the data into google spreadsheet
Save PDF attachments
This can be easily achieved by processing the attachments from the emails and storing them google drive. This link will help you achieve the same. Kindly go through the script provided in the sheet for better understanding.
Parse PDF attachments
After storing the PDFs in google drive, you could easily retrieve the content via Document Class using method getBlob or getBody as per your requirement and store in google spreadsheets.
Yesterday I've used mailpareser to parse an order email and create a google spreadsheet raw for each line item in the order. So this is now automatic.
I've found this question with google so it's still relevent.
I have a Project model which has several attachments, attachments are xml and csvs. Rather than uploading these attachments to server, I just want to save them in table ( I do however want users to upload these attachments). Each project can have multiple attachments, then I am going to parse these attachments.
Any ideas how to do this ?

I'm using Google Docs API. How can I know when a file resource changes?
I don't want to repeatedly poll data.
Firstly, you should be using the Google Drive API, which has replaced the Google Documents List API.
Right now, there is no notification system, but it is a feature we are working on. Polling the changes feed every few minutes is not too bad, but it is really not good in some situations.
You can't get a callback, I'm afraid. To avoid polling the file data, however, you could poll the metadata only and test the md5 checksum field to determine when the file has changed.
The md5 checksum field is located in docs$md5Checksum (JSON) or docs:md5Checksum (XML) in the document list entry for the file.
