Each raw email will be converted to a Communications Mining comment. Communications Mining will generate the comment's ID based on the email's "Message-ID" header. If a comment with this comment ID does not exist in the source, a new comment will be created. Otherwise, an existing comment will be updated.

When converting a raw email to a comment, Communications Mining will clean the email body and generate metadata from email headers. You can set include_comments to true to include the generated comments in the response. The comments will be returned in the format described in the Comment Reference.

NAME	TYPE	REQUIRED	DESCRIPTION
transform_tag	string	yes	A tag identifying the email integration sending the data. You should have received this tag during integration configuration setup.
documents	array<Document>	yes	A batch of maximum 16384 documents in the format described below. Larger batches are faster (per document) than smaller ones.
include_comments	boolean	no	If set to true, the comments parsed from the emails will be returned in the response body.
override_user_properties	array<string>	no	User properties supplied in documents will override auto-generated user properties if their names appear in this list. The user property names in this list should be specified without the type prefix, e.g. as My Property and not string:My Property.

Where Document has the following format:

NAME	TYPE	REQUIRED	DESCRIPTION
raw_email	RawEmail	yes	Email data, in the format described in the Comment Reference.
comment_id	string	no	Uniquely identifies a comment. If no comment ID is provided, Communications Mining will generate the comment ID from the email's message ID. The format is described in the Comment Reference.
user_properties	map<string, string | number>	no	Any user-defined metadata that applies to the comment. The format is described in the Comment Reference. Note: Some user properties are generated based on the email content. If these conflict with uploaded user properties, the request will fail with 422 Unprocessable Entity.

Warning:

ASSIGNED GENERAL FIELDS

Communications Mining will generate the contents of the comment's "messages" from the raw email body and a subset of the raw email headers, taking into account the specified transform tag. Assigned general fields will be preserved, unless the text changed significantly. Assigned labels are never discarded.

For each specified thread ID, the response will contain a list of comment UIDs (in the format of source_id.comment_id) that belong to that thread. Note that you will not get an error if you provide a thread ID that does not exist; instead the corresponding list of comments in the response will be empty.
