l A JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing records. If a value in a record
object is a string, it is considered to be a field value. If a value in a record object is a
JSON object, it is considered to be a nested table with detail records. For examples, see
"JSON string examples" on page92.
l A JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cookbook and "JSON Record Data List
example" on page93). When the "Execute Data Mapping" on page626 or "Retrieve
Items" on page643 task is set to output Records in JSON, it outputs this kind of JSON
data.
If the input is JSON, the task performs a REST call to the
/rest/serverengine/workflow/contentcreation/email/{templateId} endpoint on the Connect Server.
For more information see the REST API Cookbook.
The Render Email Content task expects UTF-8 encoded JSON job data files.
Note
Make sure that other components in the Workflow configuration working on the job data
handle UTF-8 encoded files correctly.
Processing
This task loops through each record in a Record Set or through each JSON object in an array.
For each record or JSON object, the task generates an HTML email using that record's or
object's data.
Note
Content creation may be aborted by a script in a Connect template that raises a fatal
error. This triggers the On Error tab of the Content Creation task. See Designer Script
API.
