Email Listener

[psiva]

Am trying to design a process where in a task needs to be created whenever a new email arrives in a particular inbox. Could somebody help me understand how to achieve this using Activiti?

Thanks,
Siva Puvvada

Hi,

What you could do is make use of the Apache Camel or Mule ESB integration that's available.
Both these frameworks are able to listen for incoming e-mails and they can easily trigger the Activiti engine to create a new process with a user task.
You can find some more information about Camel here:

and about Mule ESB here:

Best regards,

Thanks for the response. Github for Activiti Camel integration in the link you provided suggests to activiti-camel module in activiti.

Could you please point me where I can find it?

Thanks,
Siva

P.S : Just started to explore activiti. So please excuse if the question is silly.
