Note
About testing emails
When you send a test email, the Email To Script will not be used; instead, the email
will be sent to the address that you specify in the Send Test Email dialog. If you
have a Litmus account, you can enter your Litmus test address. To make the test
address appear by default, you can set the default test address in the Email
Preferences: select Window > Preferences, click the arrow next to Email, click
General and type the test address next to Email Test address.
For a description of how to test your email for different email clients, see this how-to:
Test your emails with Litmus. For more information on Litmus, please see
http://litmus.com/
Tip
For a detailed description of how to use Mandrill with Connect to send and track emails, see the
following how-to: Using Mandrill.
Generating Email output from Workflow
1. Open a template with an Email context.
2. Send the template to PlanetPress Workflow; see "Sending files to Workflow" on
page268.
3. Create a process in PlanetPress Workflow containing at least the following steps:
l Any input that will capture a job file that is compatible with the data mapping
configuration that is used.
l An Execute Data Mapping task to generate a valid record set (see Workflow Help:
