dspCompose

Use External Request Scenarios

An external request scenario tells dspCompose™ to create a request when an external data email account configured in dspCompose™ receives an email sent from a valid email account.

While an external request scenario can be configured to simply create a request when an email is received, templates may also be configured to use an external request scenario that creates an Excel-initiated request. In this case, dspCompose™ accepts an Excel file attached to the email. The Excel file provides data for the first Data Entry role in the workflow. Not only will the request be created, but the worksheet data from the Excel file will be inserted into the table used by the first Data Entry role (after certain conditions are met).
