Tutorial Page:

First-time user? The tutorial is the best place to start with Babelway: it guides you through a practical example to set-up a new channel.

we are going to :

  • Consult the Babelway catalogue of channel components

  • Configure a simple channel enabling to exchange messages

  • Monitor exchanged messages

In Tutorial Level 2 we'll make changes to the channel configuration to make more sophisticated operations.

Follow the following steps.

LET'S CONSULT THE BABELWAY CATALOGUE

Click on the tab. The catalogue is publicly available. It includes channel components to help build message exchange channels for yourself. Search for "Channel: tutorial - simple email to email message transfer".

Click ,read the page then click The 'Use it' function will copy the channel components into your account.

(if you were not logged in, you will be prompted to create an account or to enter your username/password. Please follow the steps, until you can properly log in).

CONFIGURATION OF A CHANNEL

You are directed in the channel edition screen of your account. The channel has been copied. We are now going to complete the channel with some specific information.

(optionally)-Personalise the name of your channel, then click Save

Click the tab Enter any username to create a new email address [username]@babelway.net. This email address will be the entry point for your channel. REMEMBER this email address since you are going to use it to test the channel.

This channel will not transform messages. We can therefore skip the configuration of the tabs , , .

Click the tab . Enter your own address email as recipient address and click Save. Please note the other fields of the email form. Try to understand what they mean.

Click Activate (top right of the screen). You activated the channel but it is not active yet! It should first be deployed.

Click in the top menu, then click Deploy Hub and confirm deployment. Your channel is now deployed in production.

TEST THIS CHANNEL

Go to your usual email tool.

Compose a mail with a file attached. For example, you can attach one of the files that you downloaded when starting this tutorial.

Send this email to the email address you created as Gateway In [Username]@babelway.net

After the message is processed by your channel, you will receive another mail with your message attached to an email sent to the address you configured as recipient email address in the Gateway Out of your channel.

MONITOR YOUR MESSAGES

Go to your Babelway account. Click in the top menu.

In the message table, there is a message record for each messages that transited via your account. Each time a channel is deployed, the test case is run and creates a message record. You can identify these messages in the column

Click on the first message record to access message details. From the message record page, you can download the message as well as consult multiple contextual information, including security traces.

You have completed level 1.
