How to create an email view and map email headers to SharePoint columns?
When you save emails to Teams, harmon.ie prompts you to create an email view in that location. You can configure harmon.ie to suggest creating an email view for SharePoint locations as well, or cancel the prompt for all locations.
If accepted, an Email view is created in the location and the following email headers are saved in corresponding email columns:
- Has attachments – The attachment icon indicates that the email has attachments.
- Name – By default the name is the email subject line. When you save subsequent emails with the same subject line, you are asked if you want to overwrite the email or keep both. You can configure harmon.ie to name the email with the subject, sender and date. This way when saving emails from the same thread, each of them will be saved as an individual .eml file.
- To – recipient’s name.
- From – sender’s name.
- Received – date and time when the email was received.
Selecting the Email view will display only email messages, with the email columns in a grid view.
If you save emails to a location that was pre-configured with automatic email header mapping in harmon.ie Classic, email headers will automatically be saved as metadata, without any prompt.
If a custom email header has been applied, refer your administrator to this article: Configure Custom Email Header Mapping in New harmon.ie.
