Exchange Actions

Description

Microsoft Exchange is an enterprise messaging solution that provides improved email security and enhanced operational efficiency for members of the IT staff. Exchange comprises a mail server, an email client and groupware applications. Designed for use in a business setting, the Exchange server is often used in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook to take advantage of Outlook's collaborative features, such as the ability to share calendars and contact lists.

The Exchange action contains a variety of activities that can be used to automate common operations on Exchange objects, such as the ability to create calendars/appointments, delete contacts, modify tasks and get email. The Exchange action supports Exchange 2003 which uses the WebDav protocol as well as Exchange 2007 and 2010, which uses the EWS (Exchange Web Service) protocol.

IMPORTANT: The Exchange activities use the Microsoft Exchange engine to perform their work. Because of this, you must have a valid copy of Exchange Server installed to use these activities.
