I am developing an app that sends out appointments and that part works now. I want the appointments to alert the recipient about the appointment at the time that I want them to be reminded (I know its annoying but its a requirement). All the alarm fields are geting properly populated but still no alarms unless I manually copy the appointment document into the ($Alarms) folder.
Is there some way to tell the Router to copy these documents into ($Alarms) at the same time that it is copied to Inbox? Perhaps some field that I am not aware of? There is no way I can get all my recipients to create after mail arrives agent just for me
The movement of the calendar entry is done by the UI script in the Mail database.
I had a similar issue and found that I needed to manually move the Calendar Entry I had created into the ($Alarms) folder in my external script.
Once I had moved the item into the ($Alarm) folder the alarms started working properly. I don’t know your specific requirements but I believe you’d need to create an agent in the mail file to process these requests as they come in or have an external database that’s got a scheduled agent which goes out and checks the mail db of the users the message were sent to and processes your email messages in those mail dbs. There is probably a better way but that’s what I can come up with on a spur-of-the-moment.
Subject: FYI - I can Get the Receipinets to Create Rules
I have negotiated with the application’s requestors and gotten them to agree to have the people who are going to receive my eMailed appointments to create a Rule in thier mail db’s to copy the appointments to ($Alarms). AND IT WORKS!
