Task properties

Recipients Tab

To: Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s). Remember this is a variable property

box and you can therefore use various schemes to use email addresses that change with

each job at run-time. You can use any combination of text, variables and data selections;

see "Variable task properties" on page303.

Cc: Specify addresses to which a copy of the generated emails are to be sent.

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.

Subject: Enter the subject of the emails generated by PlanetPress Image for this task.

Note that if you use a data selection in this box, 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.

Message: Enter the content of the email message. This is a variable property box, so the

text may be personalized using variables and data selections. Note that since this is a

variable property box, its content is parsed at run-time. If HTML code is entered or pasted

in this box, percent (%) and backslash (/) HTML characters must be doubled otherwise

they will be disregarded.

Note

Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with HTML

emails. 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).

Also note that it is not currently possible to send both an HTML and plain-text version of

your message.

Attachments Tab

Use this tab to add the files received by this task (plus any other file that you may choose to

attach) to the emails sent by PlanetPress.
