Whiteboard
For this funcionality will necessary a server with cron tabs and e-mail account. It's a PHP executable program that will execute times in times. If the program verify what exists an e-mail in inbox, it will verify if is a valid e-mail. A valid e-mail have this features:
* E-mail was registered in user register;
* Subject must be Transaction;
* Message should be formatted like this:
- Account nickname. If it's a transfer, put an > signal and account nickname. For example: MONY > CHCK;
- | (pipe);
- Date;
- | (pipe);
- Transaction description;
- | (pipe);
- Value. If spend, value is negative.
After verification, program saves e-mail in a file and create an register in emails table of application database to build a queue. After this, other program will read this queue and will try save this e-mail. If saves successfully then program will send a confirmation e-mail to talk what e-mail was processed.
This process will have a third program. It will verify list and will delete register and file. If find an register not processed after 4 hours, it will try process. If get, then delete. If not, delete too, but will warn user that your e-mail not processed.
