Table Of Contents

Processing

While an email is always sent by this task (or at least attempted to be sent), the contents of the email

and presence of attachments depends on the selected options.

Once the contents of the email and attachments are determined, the email (including any attachments)

is sent directly to the selected mail server.

Output

This task doesn't have any output other than the email that is sent to the recipient(s).

Task properties

Recipients Tab

The fields on this tab are variable property fields, which means the values may change with each job at

run-time. You can use any combination of text, variables and data selections; see "Variable task prop-

erties" on page289.

Note: When specifying multiple recipients for the To, CC and BCC fields, separate the e-mail

addresses with semi-colons (;).

To: Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s).

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 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 page426) with a Strip() function to strip

them out.

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.
