Checkpoint via mail is a default Switch app that allows implementing a simple Checkpoint via email, performing the following main functions:
- For each arriving job, send out an e-mail message that includes the unique name prefix of the job and a list of possible "Checkpoint actions" (the names of the outgoing connections, or, if no name is specified, the name of the target folders) – in addition to instructions on how to operate the Checkpoint by return e-mail.
- Monitor e-mail messages coming back from users and parse those messages for the original information about the job and for the Checkpoint action selected by the sender.
- When a matching response comes in, move the corresponding job along the specified outgoing connection or (if no name is specified for the connection) to the specified target folder.
