Email listeners components
The Email Listeners application works together with a CRON task and a workflow process to provide full functionality.
The following table lists and describes the Email Listeners components.
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Email Listeners application | The application used to create, modify, and delete email listener configurations. |
| Email listener cron task | A component that runs continuously on the application server and uses the CRON task infrastructure. This role is performed by the LSNRCRON cron task. This component encapsulates a staging process that processes inbound email through a staging table. |
| Workflow process | A workflow process that parses email information from the staging table and processes it according to the subject and contents of each message. |
For these components to work correctly, you must first configure your mail servers and email accounts.
