How to simulate an inbound email

[jamesmcwhinney]

We have an email integration process in place with an external system (it did not support web services integration unfortunately).

Since there is no test environment available for this external system, I would like to create a method to simulate responses.

What I originally envisioned was a business rule that would abort outgoing emails to the given address and then insert a response record into the sys_email table.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to kick off the related OOTB processing logic.

Could anyone recomend a better way to insert simulated responses into the sys_email table?

Thanks!

I have a few integrations based on inbound actions.

If you already have the inbound action created, just email your dev instance from wherever, it doesn't need to be from the exact email box as long as the format is the same.
