    We are upgrading our mail systems to add in new functionality and we are going to use some of the extra fields in "Email Information" to achieve this. We are planning at the very least to configure these things from filemaker/opti clients. At this point im just investigating the feasability of allowing clients to change options some web scripting.

    So after investigating a bit, I have run into a question.. can extra fields on the email information (besides route to, login, and password) be updated via the web (e.g. an xml request)?

    Yes, any field can be accessed/edited via an XML request.

    If you are going to access stuff via XML, you can do it direct to the normal field. You can find a complete data model for download in the support section of our website.

    I've got an additional question. If we are able to update email records in optigold via XML, is there a way to have optigold trigger one of the auto server scripts (a generic one for example) when information has been updated? If so, how would this be done?

    Thanks,
    Jason Tschopp

    Yes, you should be able to with the -Script option within your XML request (to trigger whatever script you want).
