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628 or "Retrieve
Items" on page646 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.
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, an HTML Email is generated using that record's or object's
data. The output generated is then sent via an SMTP server with the email address set by the
template.
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.
Note
The number of log messages for any non-fatal errors is limited to 100. Non-fatal errors are
errors related to one record that will not stop the processing of all records. For example,
when the recipient’s email address in a record is invalid, that record produces a non-fatal
error; subsequent records will still be processed.
Output
Within the Workflow process, the output to this task is only modified metadata indicating that the
task is complete. It is the Server component that outputs the emails themselves and sends them
to each recipient.
