Pull phone numbers from Email

[athavichith]

I turned on 'automatically create users for incoming emails from trusted domain'. Is it possible to pull phone numbers, if phone numbers are associated with the email information?

it creates user with minimal information so phone number not possible to populate.

you can use custom logic in inbound action to grab phone.

This runs and created user when an email is sent from any user from trusted domain and user is not present in sys_user table.

It will not fetch any other information. (apart from name and email). For fetching any other information, you need integration with AD of your org.

User is created with limited fields and do not have option to amend phone number details during the user creation process. I would recommend to carefully consider the scenario if you want to allow automatic user creation as email_id is not always the coalesce field used for sys_user table and there could be duplicate users created by this method.

Since you can allow guest user for processing inbound email actions, creating users automatically via this method is not recommended and not mandatory. You can create a dashboard or report to monitor this gap and identify why users do not exist in sys_user table and remediate it.

As per community guidelines, you can accept more than one answer as accepted solution. If my response helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution.
