- The BODY of the mail will be used as DESCRIPTION of the idea.
- ATTACHMENT of the mail will be used as FILES connected to the idea.
- The first IMAGE as ATTACHMENT will be used as the IMAGE of the idea.

# **Use cases**

- **External Form to submit ideas** - You create a FORM that submits the values to an mail address
- **Integration** - Build an integration to add ideas into [Accept Mission](https://www.acceptmission.com/nl/encyclopedia/accept-mission/).
- **Offline idea submission** - Invite people to submit ideas offline
- Invite external users to submit ideas. You can also invite user outside your organization into the platform but this is an alternative way.

# **Security**

Take good notice of the security. These rules always apply:

- The user (from address) needs to be in the system as valid-user
- Only users who are allowed In the [Mission](https://www.acceptmission.com/nl/encyclopedia/mission/) can add ideas via mail
- The email needs to be set up following the general email guidelines.

# Notification

As a user (FROM address) you will always receive an email notification:

- Successful - You mail is been added to the [Mission](https://www.acceptmission.com/nl/encyclopedia/mission/) as a new idea
- Failed - The mail could not be added to the [Mission](https://www.acceptmission.com/nl/encyclopedia/mission/). Most of the time this is a security reason.
