E-Mail Transfer Object

An email object is a possible transfer destination. The needed email (SMTP) server has to be configured as plug in instance. Create a mail transfer object as explained within the connection.

After opening the transfer object, the following properties can be set:

Email connectionThe SMTP servers are available here as configured instances of the OPC plug-in.
E-mail set of access dataHere the SMTP server are available as configured instances of the OPC plug in.
Number of recipientsEnter the number of receivers here. The transfer object will create that number of elements, which are filled from you during run time with email addresses e. g. from variables or a data base table. With a dynamic data base filter you can figure the receivers flexible.
Number of Cc

If CC is specified, all CC recipients are added to each email.

SenderAddresser of the email, has to be in format of an email address (name@domain.xx).
Display nameThis name is displayed as the sender.
Reply-ToEnter an email address if a reply email from the recipient should not be sent to you but to another recipient.
On behalfEnter the email address of the person on whose behalf you wrote the email.
