The following properties can be configured for the email transfer object:

note

Placeholders can be used in all text fields with the syntax [%placeholder_name%].

Property	Description
Email Connection	The SMTP servers are available here as configured instances of the OPC plug-in.
Number of Recipients	Enter the number of recipients here. The transfer object will provide this number of elements, which you can populate at runtime with email addresses, e.g., from variables or a database table. Using a dynamic database filter, you can flexibly configure the recipient group.
Number of Cc	Same as number of recipients. If CC is specified, all CC recipients are added to every email.
Sender	Sender of the email; must be in the format of an email address (name@example.com).
Display Name	This name will be displayed as the sender.
Reply-to address	Enter an email address if you want the recipient’s reply to be sent to someone else instead of you.
On Behalf Of	Enter the email address of the person on whose behalf you are composing the email.
Subject	Subject line of the email.
Number of file attachments	Provides a corresponding number of elements for file paths/names in the transfer object, which you can populate either via a constant object or dynamically at runtime. These files are then sent as attachments. The file path is then dragged into the corresponding row of the transfer object.
Attachments as binary data	The attachments are converted to binary data. A row is then displayed in the transfer object’s workspace for the file name and another for the file content.
Text as HTML	Delivers the email in HTML format.
Send emails individually	An email is sent to each recipient individually so that individual recipients cannot see who else the email was sent to. Even if one email address does not work, all other recipients can still receive their message.
Text content	Text of the email.
Placeholders	Define any variables here that you will populate at runtime, e.g., with process values or messages. Use the plus button to create a new placeholder. Select a placeholder and insert it into the text using “Insert into subject line” or “Insert.”
