Message information
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 page426) 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, oth-
erwise they will be disregarded.
Note: Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with
HTML emails (see HTML Email challenges in the PReS 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.
PReS 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 page500 task.
Also note that it is currently not possible to send both an HTML and plain-text version of your mes-
sage with the Microsoft 365 Email Output task.
