Overview

This node operation sets email forwarding for a specified user within a tenant. It allows configuring the forwarding email address, whether to keep a copy of forwarded emails, and whether to disable forwarding. This is useful for managing user email routing in organizational environments, such as forwarding emails to another address during employee transitions or for monitoring purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Forward all emails from a user's mailbox to another email address while keeping a copy in the original mailbox.
  2. Disable email forwarding for a user to stop emails from being redirected.
  3. Set up email forwarding for a user to an external email address without keeping a copy in the original mailbox.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The user ID or email address of the user whose email forwarding settings are to be configured.
Tenant Filter The tenant ID or domain name to specify the tenant context for the user.
Forward To The email address to which the user's emails will be forwarded.
Keep Copy Boolean flag indicating whether to keep a copy of forwarded emails in the user's mailbox.
Disable Boolean flag indicating whether to disable email forwarding for the user.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID and tenant filter are correctly specified; incorrect values may cause the operation to fail.
  • Verify that the forwarding email address is valid and properly formatted.
  • Check API authentication credentials if requests fail due to authorization errors.
  • If forwarding does not work as expected, verify that the 'disable' flag is set correctly and that the mail system supports forwarding settings.
