Create custom email header: importance

[Valor1]

I'd like to create a custom email header for the "importance" flag in Outlook.

After much digging, it looks like I need to do the following, but I can't figure out how to view / modify the string
1) Edit the "Header" string in the sys_email table to first get the importance header to be recognized as such,
2) and then create a corresponding "importance" column in the same table.

Any pointers?

Is there any similar functionality to set the message sensitivity (Private / Confidential) etc ?

hartr, go ahead and submit an enhancement request in hi to get this in the queue. It should be an easy add.

The most straightforward method is to add a business rule on the sys_email table that adds the headers you want on an insert of send-ready emails.

• Create a business rule on the sys_email
  • Make sure Active is checked
  • When to run:
    • Insert checked (Update not checked)
    • Filter Condition: Type is send-ready
    • This makes sure we only run this when an email is first created and only for outbound emails
  • Advanced flag checked
  • Advanced (Script):
    • (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
            current.headers += "\nX-Hello: World";
      })(current, previous);
  • Note: The "\n" may be unnecessary (you should test) but will be necessary between each of your added headers
  • Also note, the "+=" in the script above. You generally want to append to the headers, not replace them.
