Note
When specifying multiple recipients for the To, CC and BCC fields, separate the e-mail
addresses with semi-colons (;).
l
To: Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s).
l
Cc: Specify addresses to which a copy of the generated emails are to be sent.
l
Bcc: Specify discreet addresses (other recipients will not be able to see these addresses)
to which a copy of the generated emails are to be sent.
l
Subject: Enter the subject of the email. Note that if you use a data selection in this field,
you must be sure that the data that will be selected at run-time will not contain any
parentheses, as this would cause the task to fail. If you suspect that the data may contain
parentheses, you should use a Run Script action task (see "Run Script" on page465)
with a Strip() function to strip them out.
l
Message: Enter the content of the email message. This may be text or HTML based.
Note that since this is a variable property field, its content is parsed at run-time. If HTML
code is entered or pasted in this box, percent (%) and slash (/) HTML characters must be
doubled, otherwise they will be disregarded.
Note
Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with
HTML emails (see HTML Email challenges in the PlanetPress Connect Online
Help). In most cases, if you want to send your email as an HTML message, your
very first line should start with <html> or <!doctype html>. It should not be any other
character.
PlanetPress Connect has a tool to design HTML email templates: the Designer. To
generate email output from a template you would use the "Create Email Content"
on page554 task.
Also note that it is currently not possible to send both an HTML and plain-text
version of your message.
