22/06/2022 With the use of the 'Create Email from Document' and 'Convert Doc to Email' activities, where a document is sent as an attachment to the client, the resulting email stored in CCH Document Management appears as a draft email, instead of a sent email. None - The state (draft/sent) of the email stored in Document Management does not reflect the email transmittal status (unsent/sent or delivered).  The Workflow system will convert the document to a file type of msg where the SMTP providers respond with an outcome to indicate a sent without bounce back or error status.  Where any response is received that indicates that the email was not sent (or is undelivered where available), the workflow system proceeds down the 'Fail' outcome and does not convert the target document to an Email. TBD
