l
Metadata: The Metadata must contain information regarding a valid Record Set, or JSON
data. This can be the output of the "Execute Data Mapping" on page522 task or "Retrieve
Items" on the facing page task.
l
JSON String: a JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing records (see
"JSON string examples" on page77) or a JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cook-
book and "JSON Record Data List example" on page79).
This option requires that keys in the JSON data have matching field names in the data
model of the template. When they have, the JSON values are passed to the template; the
personalization scripts of the template will have access to the values through the record's
data fields. (See the Designer help: Adding Variable Data.)
Caution: The JSON format is not validated by the plugin; it is passed as is to the
server.
l
Output Method (see "Output" on page534): Select how to output information about the emails
that were created, including the email addresses (to, from, etc.), subject, and the names of the
folder, HTML file, attachments, (optional) plain text email file (see Email output settings in the
Email context and sections) and EML file (see below).
l
Metadata: Write the information to the current Metadata.
l
JSON Data in Job Data File: Return the information in a JSON structure that replaces the
current Job File. This allows you to manipulate the output in a "Run Script" on page426
task before sending it to an Email Service Provider (ESP).
l
Additional Output:
l
Render messages in EML format: Creates an EML file containing the HTML email, its
attachments and (optionally) the text version of the email, and saves it in the File Store.
EML files can be used for archiving. You could use the "Download EML Messages" on
page520 plugin to download them from the File Store. Alternatively you could use the "File
Store - Download File" on page527 task; in that case you will need the folder ID and EML
file name found in the output of the "Render Email Content" on page533 plugin.
Note: Information about the Connect Server (host, user name etc.) is taken from the Workflow
Preferences (see "OL Connect preferences" on page652).
