Receive messages from e-Boks
Citizens, companies, and authorities can send messages to your organization from e-Boks. The received messages can either be replies to messages sent from WorkZone or they can be unsolicited messages.
Replies
When SmartPost receives a message from e-Boks, it is checked if the message is a reply to a message that was sent from WorkZone as part of a SmartPost process. If the message is a reply, it is saved as a document on the case that contains the original message along with any supplementary documents.
Unsolicited messages
When SmartPost receives an unsolicited message, the message is saved as a document with possible supplementary documents on a predefined default case.
If subunits such as different authorities or subdivisions in your organization have specific mailboxes in e-Boks, unsolicited messages that are received in these mailboxes will be saved on predefined subunit cases that function as dossiers corresponding to each of the subunits' mailboxes.
What happens when a message is saved in WorkZone?
If the received message includes attachments, the attachments become supplementary documents on the document that is created. Meta data are automatically added to the main document and to any supplementary documents as shown in the tables below.
Main document
The main document automatically gets the following meta data:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Title |
The title of the message specified by the sender in e-Boks. |
|
Document type |
The document type is set to Incoming (I) by default. |
|

|
|
Origin |
The origin of the document is set to DP, DigitalPost by default. |
|
Letter date |

In addition, the following information is added to the Information tab of the main document:
| Information type | Information |

Answer to case |
If the message is a reply to a message, and the case from which the original message was sent cannot be found or is closed, the reply will be saved on a default case. This field displays the case number of the case that the original message was sent from. |

A message from e-Boks contains an e-Boks ID that identifies the message. You can use this ID if you want to contact e-Boks about a message. |

If the sender is an organization, the sender's CVR number is saved on the document in the Digital post source CVR information type field. |
|
Digital post source |
If the sender is an authority that has sent the message by using a sender system without CVR setup, the name of the authority is saved on the document in the Digital post source information type field. |
Supplementary documents
Any attachments to the message are saved as supplementary documents with the following meta data:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|

The file name of the supplementary document becomes the title of the supplementary document in WorkZone. |
|

Parties
If the received message includes sender information such as a CPR number, a CVR number, or a name of an authority, and the contact exists in WorkZone, the sender will be added as a party on the main document.
What happens if a case is closed?
If a case is closed, WorkZone will try to save a received message on it. By default, SmartPost is configured to allow opening of closed cases but your organization may have turned off this configuration. Depending on the case type and whether your organization uses corporate access codes, the following will happen.
No corporate access codes
Replies
- If the message is a reply to a message sent from WorkZone, and the corresponding case is closed, the message is saved on the default case. The default case is always open.
Unsolicited messages
- If the default case or a subunit's case is closed, the case is reopened and the message is saved on it. The case will stay open. This is the default behavior.
- If your organization has configured WorkZone to not allow reopening of closed cases, the message will be saved on the default case. The default case is always open.

WorkZone identifies the authority's case based on a unique identifier in the received message. The identifier refers to the case from which the original message was sent. WorkZone determines the authority based on the user who created the case and the authority that this user belongs to. The reply is saved on the authority's case. If the authority's case is not found, the message is saved on the default case.
