Input
This task must receive the information regarding a valid Record Set. This can be the output of the Create
Record Set task, or a Record Set retrieved using the Retrieve Entities task.
Processing
This task loops through each record in the Record Set. For each record, an HTMLEmail is generated using
the record's data. The output generated is then sent via an SMTPserver to the email set by the template.
Output
Within the workflow, the output to this task is only modified metadata indicating the task is complete. It is the
Server component that outputs the emails themselves and sends them to each recipient.
