Tip
Use a Control Script to dynamically select an Email section for output depending on the
value of a data field.
Email header settings
An email header contains routing information, such as the sender, recipient/s and subject of the
message. This topic explains how to make settings for the header of an email that is generated
from an Email template.
The default Email SMTP settings and the sender's name and address are defined in the
Connect Designer preferences. They can be adjusted per run in the Send Email and Send Test
Email dialogs.
The subject, the recipients (To, Cc and Bcc), the sender and the Reply to address can be
entered in the Email Fields at the top of the workspace. If the fields are not visible, click the
words 'Email Fields' (or the small plus before them) to expand the Email Fields area.
To use a variable email address in any of the fields, simply drag and drop a data field into the
email field.
The specified subject and addresses will be visible when viewing the email in the workspace in
Preview mode.
The To address must always be variable. This field is not used when you send a test email
(see "Generating Email output" on page596).
Note
Using a variable email address requires you to load data first; see "Loading data" on page239.
Using the Email Script Wizard
In addition to the drag and drop method, you can use the Email Script Wizard to add data to an
email header field. It lets you choose one or more data fields and enter a prefix and/or suffix
(per data field).
There are two ways to open the Email Script Wizard:
