Getting the sys_id of inbound email in inbound script

[kchorny]

I need to capture the sys_id from an incoming email in a variable within an inbound action script.   I can get email.body_text, email.subject, etc. but email.sys_id comes back as 'undefined'.   email.getUniqueValue() doesn't work either (I didn't really expect it to) and I'm at a loss for what else to try.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The sys_email variable

According to docs, it appears that you might be able to do something like sys_email.sys_id.

Ah, so simple!   Thank you!   I really did search before I asked, honest....

Confirmed that sys_email.sys_id ran inside of an inbound email action will get the sys_id of the current inbound email for use to pass to variables so that workflow can pull and reassign the attachments or other information from the email.
