Create Email Content
The Create Email Content task generates a set of email content items from a template's Email
Context, which are then sent directly to the recipient set in each record.
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 HTMLEmail is
generated using the record's data. The output generated is then sent via an SMTPserver 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.
