Email Configuration Appian does not include an email server for inbound/outbound email, but it can be configured to send and receive email via external email servers by properties set in custom.properties and passwords.properties. Appian on Kubernetes supports specifying these properties in the .spec.customProperties and .spec.webapp.passwordsPropertiesSecretName fields, respectively, on Appian custom resources. The latter field represents the name of a Kubernetes Secret. To configure Appian to send and receive email, do the following. Create a file on your machine named passwords.properties with the appropriate content as instructed by the product documentation. Create a Secret containing passwords.properties using the following command. 1 kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> create secret generic passwords-properties --from-file=passwords.properties Set the .spec.customProperties and .spec.webapp.passwordsPropertiesSecretName fields on your site’s Appian custom resource: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 apiVersion: crd.k8s.appian.com/v1beta1 kind: Appian metadata: name: appian spec: # The properties below serve only as examples.
