I have an email that arrives every day at 5:00 PM which reports the amount of inventory in stock everyday. Is there a way I could upload the data from this email into Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 ? I searched Google and StackOverflow but didn't find a solution to this.

Thank you in advance. A high level solution or a detail solution on how to do this would be extremely helpful.

SharePoint has the ability to receive messages and documents via e-mail through functionality called Mail Enabled Libraries.

First, you have to configure incoming email, which is a bit of work. Once SharePoint is configured to receive email, you have to configure a list to receive email.

EDIT

The manual process to upload a document would have the following steps:

  1. Check email
  2. If the email is there, save email to local file
  3. Upload file to SharePoint

If you want to automate this process, I recommend PowerShell as its powerful yet easy to use.

  • I don't have the ability to set mail in my server. Is there another way ? – Ray Jul 31 '14 at 16:04
  • Aside from the normal methods of uploading documents to SharePoint? A programmatic solution would be difficult as you would have to get the email from your mail server then upload it to SharePoint, essentially automating the manual process of the traditional upload methods. – Justin Russell Jul 31 '14 at 16:21
  • I guess I would have to do that. Would you happen to know any references to do this ? – Ray Jul 31 '14 at 16:28
