Sending E-Mails

For the Server Action ‘E-Mail’, the following parameters are configurable:

Receiver (mandatory): The e-mail address of the person(s) that should receive the mail
CC: The e-mail address of the person(s) that should also receive the mail
BCC: The e-mail address of the person(s) that should also receive the mail, but is/are not shown in the recipient list
Sender: The e-mail address that is shown as the sender of the mail
Subject: The text that is displayed as the subject of the mail
Body: The text that is displayed as the content of the mail (for example, text generated by the Template Server Action)
Show Busy Indicator: if set to true, a busy indicator will be shown on the screen during the template-based text is generated

For the parameters Receiver, CC, and BCC, you can also specify multiple e-mail addresses. To do so, the e-mail addresses have to be separated by semicolons.

There are no specific output parameters for the E-Mail Server Action. Use the green success node or the red error node of the shape to control the process after sending the mail.

Visual Server Action for sending Emails supports only Text E-Mails without HTML (technically Mime-Type is set to text/plain). If you want to send HTML-formatted E-Mails, please use a Business Object Function instead. (Read more)
