HCL Verse extensions to read a message on opening

Hello,

I looked at the documentation for Verse extensions (https://opensource.hcltechsw.com/Verse-Extension-Documentation/docs/extension-points/) but couldn't find a way to automatically perform an read action after opening a message (it is possible when sending a message for example with the extension "com.ibm.verse.ext.beforeOnSend").

Is there a way to do this without changing the design of Verse ?

Thanks for your help !

Hi Fred,

I'm trying to help here. Yes, upon review on documentation, you are correct, there is no functionality yet to automatically read a mail upon post open. IMO, seems because as per Extension Data API, "Mail Read is a context object with mail read data is passed to actions placed in the Mail Read view" only (not in post open yet):

If you want this to be feasible or applicable, then I would suggest you to submit a new feature request or idea at the Ideas portal.

Additionally, I found a sample implementation to use Mail Read in other use case like how to integrate the Watson Text To Speech with HCL Verse.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Thanks,
Jayve
