Upload historic Gmail emails with Studio Desktop

1. Make sure you have already configured your connection to Gmail in Integration Service.
2. Make sure you have already set up your target source within Communications Mining.

1. Add a For Each Email Gmail activity
   Add the For Each Email Gmail activity to a new process, configure the activity to use your existing connection, and add any preferred filters.

   
   

   

   
   
2. Add a Create Record activity
   Within the body of your For Each Email activity, add the Communications Mining Create Record activity.

   
   

   

   
   
3. Provide your field mapping
   Within the Create Record activity, map each of your fields on the activity. Find additional fields in the properties panel. Save the output in a variable called CurrentRecord.

   Note: When creating a record based on email data:

   • The Record ID should be the MIME Internet Message ID
   • The Thread ID should be the content of the References header on the email
   • You may need to map a list of recipient email addresses to a semi colon-separated string as shown in the following image.

6. Append your Current Record to your Record List
   Add an Append Item to List activity to your process and append the CurrentRecord to your RecordList.
