Save email attachments into a folder on your own machine
Give partners an email address and their attachments appear in a folder on your own machine. DocEvent extracts each inbound attachment and the DocEvent Agent writes it to the folder you pick from the web console — no mailbox polling, fully audited.

How Email to DocEvent Agent (on-prem) routing works
Email
Email attachments are captured automatically via inbound email (Amazon SES).
DocEvent Channel
DocEvent Agent
Files are delivered into a local folder on your own machine by the DocEvent Agent.
1
File arrives via Email
Inbound email processed via Amazon SES. Attachments extracted and routed through the channel.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to DocEvent Agent (on-prem)
The agent connects outbound over TLS — no inbound ports to open — and writes each delivered file into the folder you pick from the web console. Every file is acknowledged, so restarts and dropped connections never lose or duplicate one.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a Email → DocEvent Agent (on-prem) channel.
- Land emailed invoices or orders in the folder your ERP already watches
- Collect supplier attachments into one local processing directory
- Turn an email address into a drop-box for an on-premise workflow
- Archive inbound documents on your own machine the moment they arrive
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Email or DocEvent Agent (on-prem) side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
