I have an email delivered to a specific inbox which contains a number of fields I need to scrape.

The fields will be subsequently fed into a workflow system.

For example:

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: New starter notification

Message:

Name: John Smith
Start Date: 01/12/2016
End Date: 31/12/2016
..

Is there software which could automatically listen to or poll the email account for new emails, and extract these fields (John Smith, 01/12/2016, 31/12/2016) or dump the entire email into a text file for further scraping?

Alternatively, a workflow system which can interpret emails out of the box.

Other information:

• The format of the email is fixed.
• Email server is Exchange Server 2013.
• The system sending the email does not provide an API or web service to extract the information.

• Email server is Exchange Server 2013.
• The mail server isn't IMAP enabled :(
• The system sending the email does not provide an API or web service to extract the information.
• Preferably this should run on Windows Server 2016.
• Price would depend on what else the software can do. We are looking at a full-fledged workflow tool, such as Alfresco/Anypoint, but I'm not sure how email input will feed in.
