Configure message fields

Message fields are metadata related to a document such as message subject. You can map these values to Tungsten Capture batch/folder/document fields.

If a message field is mapped to a Tungsten Capture field, it is automatically populated with the proper value during import to Tungsten Capture.

You can configure the message field mappings in Capture Plug-In for each destination. See Manage destinations.

Overview of message IDs'

Following are the common message ID's used in MS Graph.

ViewMessageResponse MessageInStore Description
MessageEntry/General/MessageID Header/common/uuid Unique message content ID provided by the message server. If a message has multiple recipients, the ID is shared with all the recipients. MC specific: GUID of the message is storage.
MessageEntry/General/OwnerReference Header/general/OwnerReference The correlation information provided by the message owner. It is usually defined by the email sender.
MessageEntry/General/ Extensions/TransferID "MC-"+Header/common/uuid

Unique ID of the transferred message used to identify any duplicates received.

MessageEntry/General/ Extensions/TransferSourceID Header/general/TransferSourceID Optional, external unique ID used to prevent duplicate imports.

The ID must start with a source system specific prefix. For example: "Rfx." is used for RightFax.

MessageEntry/Originator/Correlation1 header/general/InputDisplayName Supported by MC since KIC 2.6.0.1. MC will store the passive input display name in this field. For active inputs this field is empty.
MessageEntry/Originator/Correlation2 Header/general/ExternalSourceID Supported by MC since TIC 2025.1.2. Optional ID that may be used to open the message from its source (e.g. mail server).

The ID must start with a source system specific prefix. For example: "MsGraph." is used for Microsoft Graph.

The following ID's are used in a typical email scenario in MS Graph:

  • The OwnerReference ID is defined by the email sender. It is transferred with the mime header.
  • The SourceID ID is defined by the email server that receives the message. It identifies the message in the mailbox. It can be used to open/change/delete the message in the MS Graph mailbox.
  • The MessageID is the ID of a message in Message Connector. It can be used to open/change/delete the message in Message Connector.
