Registers an email message as a document in infoRouter at the specified path. The email body, metadata (sender, recipients, CC, BCC, subject, sent date), and any attachments are stored as a single .EMAIL document in the target folder. Use this API to archive emails directly from an email client or integration.

|---|---|---|---|
AuthenticationTicket |
string | Yes | Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser. |
TargetPath |
string | Yes | Full infoRouter path including the document name (e.g. /Finance/Emails/Meeting-Notes.EMAIL). The folder portion must exist. The file name portion becomes the document name. If you pass only .EMAIL as the file name, the system automatically prefixes the generated document ID. |
Senders |

Recipients |
string | Yes | Primary recipient address(es). Multiple addresses may be separated by a semicolon. |
CCAddress |
string | No | CC address(es). Multiple addresses may be separated by a semicolon. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
BCCAddress |
string | No | BCC address(es). Multiple addresses may be separated by a semicolon. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
SentDate |
DateTime | Yes | Date and time the email was sent. Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss (ISO 8601). Used as the document’s creation and modification date. |
Subject |
string | No | Email subject line. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
header |
string | No | Raw email header block. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
htmlBody |
string | No | HTML body content of the email. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
textBody |
string | No | Plain text body content of the email. Pass empty string or omit if not applicable. |
AttachmentHandlers |
string | No | Semicolon-separated list of email attachment descriptors. Each entry has the format {filename}:{upload-handler-guid}. See the Attachments section below. Pass empty string or omit if there are no attachments. |
Email attachments must be pre-uploaded using CreateUploadHandler and UploadFileChunk before calling RegisterEmail. Each uploaded file is identified by its upload handler GUID.
The AttachmentHandlers parameter format is:
{filename1}:{handler-guid1};{filename2}:{handler-guid2}
Example:
Invoice.pdf:3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301;Contract.docx:7b3504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3302
Entries are separated by ;
Within each entry, the file name and handler GUID are separated by :
The handler GUID must correspond to a valid, unexpired upload handler created with CreateUploadHandler
After a successful RegisterEmail call, the upload handlers are automatically deleted from the server
<response success="true" error="" DocumentID="1051" DocumentName="Meeting-Notes.EMAIL" />
| Attribute | Description |

error |

1. For each attachment file:
POST /srv.asmx/CreateUploadHandler?... -' returns handler GUID (e.g. "abc123...")
POST /srv.asmx/UploadFileChunk (repeat until all chunks uploaded)
2. POST /srv.asmx/RegisterEmail
AttachmentHandlers=Invoice.pdf:abc123...;Contract.docx:def456...
3. On success, response includes DocumentID and DocumentName of the new .EMAIL document
The document name is taken from the last path segment of TargetPath. The parent folder path must already exist.
If the document name is exactly .EMAIL, the system automatically prepends the generated document ID to create a unique name.
Email documents are stored with PercentComplete=100 (completed) and are not subject to the checkout/lock workflow.
The document’s creation date and modification date are set to SentDate. The completion date is set to the current server time.
Duplicate detection: If a document with the same name and the same email Message-ID header already exists in the target folder, the call fails to prevent duplicate registrations.
After a successful call, all referenced upload handlers are automatically deleted from the server.
Use RegisterEmail1 to register an email and also set user-defined keywords in a single call.
Use RegisterEmail2 to specify the folder path and email document name as separate parameters instead of combining them in TargetPath.
RegisterEmail1 - Register an email with user-defined keywords
RegisterEmail2 - Register an email with the folder path and document name as separate parameters
CreateUploadHandler - Create an upload handler for pre-uploading email attachments
UploadFileChunk - Upload file content in chunks to an upload handler
GetDocument - Get the properties of the registered email document
