You must have the necessary permissions in your email service to execute global search. - For EWS: eDiscovery - For Gmail: Google Apps Domain-Wide Delegation of Authority - For MSGraph: As described in the [message-get API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-get\) and the [user-list-messages API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-messages\) | False | Optional |

| UserID | The user's email address to retrieve the original email. This value is passed as an input to the "Get Original Email - Generic v2" playbook. | incident.emailto | Optional |
| Thread-Topic | The value of the "Thread-Topic" header which holds the original email subject, needed for forwarded email scenarios. It is passed as an input to the "Get Original Email - Generic v2" playbook to use in the relevant sub-playbooks. | incident.emailsubject | Optional |

| EmailFileToExtract | Reported emails and emails retrieved during playbook execution can contain multiple nested email files. For example, an EML nested inside another EML file. If multiple level files are detected, this field determines which file represents the phishing email. For example: User1 receives an email from Attacker. User1 attaches the email as an EML file and sends the email to User2. User2 also attaches that email as a file, and reports it as phishing. In this case, the phishing email would be the "inner file" (as opposed to "outer file"). Possible values are: Inner file, Outer file, All files. Inner file: The file at the deepest level is parsed. If there is only one file, that file is parsed. Outer file: The file at the first level is parsed. All files: All files are parsed. Do not use this option in the phishing playbook, as there should only be one phishing email per playbook run. | Inner file | Optional |
| UseOldHTMLFields | This input is used to preserve backward-compatibility. It determines whether the playbook should set email fields that are no longer being used in the out-of-the-box content. If set to True, the playbook will save data into the the "Email Body HTML" and "Rendered HTML" incident fields as it did before. If set to False, the playbook will not save data into those fields, and will simply be using the Email HTML field instead. If you are ingesting large emails which are causing issues with large amounts of data being saved into incident fields, you should set the value to False. We recommend setting the value to False unless you are certain that you need the "Email Body HTML" and "Rendered HTML" incident fields. | True | Optional |
