Email Transfer Object

An email object is available as a transfer destination. The required mail (SMTP) server must be configured as a plug-in instance. Create a mail transfer object within the connection as described.

The following properties can be configured for email transfer objects:

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 fill with email addresses at runtime, e.g., from variables or a database table. You can use a dynamic database filter to flexibly configure the group of recipients.
Number of Cc	Same as number of recipients. If CC is specified, all CC recipients are added to each email.
Sender	Sender of the email, must have the format of an email address (name@domain.xx).
Display name	This name is displayed as the sender.
Reply address	Enter an email address if you want replies from the recipient to be sent to someone other than yourself.
On behalf of	Enter the email address of the person on whose behalf you wrote 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 fill either via a constant object or dynamically at runtime. These files are then sent as attachments. The path of the file is then dragged into the corresponding line of the transfer object.
Attachments as binary data	The attachments are converted to binary data. A line for the file name and one for the file content are then displayed in the transfer object in the workspace.
Text as HTML	Delivers the email in HTML format.
Send emails individually	An email is sent to each recipient individually so that the individual recipient 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.
Placeholder	Define any variables here that you want to fill in at runtime, e.g., with process values or messages. Create a new placeholder with the plus button. Select a placeholder and insert it into the text using "Insert into subject line" or "Insert."
