Getting Started
To get set up you will need to start datasource creation, then use the provided email address to send/forward reports to.
You will also need to insert the expected sender’s address. Any email sent from an address other than the one configured will be ignored.
Optionally, you can restrict the URL for links that will be accepted, as well as the types of files that are acceptable.
Limitations
This datasource pulls in both links and attachments. If your report arrives as a link in the email's text, it is strongly suggested to add the expected URL of the report to the Additional Configuration Needed area.
Attachments
Email messages are only retained for 1 day. Because of this limitation, attachments to emails are inaccessible after this time period.
Links
Some links are able to be retrieved beyond this 1 day limit, but are limited to a maximum of 5 days previous. When using the Load Data button in Alli, it will by default try to pull links and attachments up to 3 days, which could trigger warning message when trying to retrieve attachments that no longer exist.
Define your Data
All data is manually defined during datasource setup.
