Configure Email Sending via Buttons

In Intrexx, buttons can be configured so that clicking them sends emails. You can flexibly customize the content, recipients, and so on.

You can find the email configuration in the Properties dialog for buttons on the "Actions" tab.

If you haven't already done so, please start by configuring the email service in the "Tools" module so that Intrexx can send emails. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

Send

Send Email / Configuration

Clicking the "Send Email" checkbox opens a dialog box where you can configure the email properties. You can edit the configuration again by clicking " Configuration."

Recipient, CC Recipient, BCC Recipient

Send to

Ask the user for the recipient

With this setting, when users click the button configured to send emails in the browser, a prompt appears where they can enter any email address.

Static Distribution List

Here, you can specify a fixed list of email addresses as a distribution list. The individual addresses must be separated by semicolons.

Dynamic Distribution List

Application, Data Group, Data Field

Select the source for the email addresses here. Text data fields that contain email addresses separated by semicolons can also be used. No other delimiters are allowed.

Edit Filter

Opens a dialog box where the address list can be narrowed down in advance using filter criteria.

Address from the email field

Unlike the dynamic distribution list, the value from the current record is used here. This setting is available when you are on an entry or view page where a record is loaded or being created.

Data field

Select the data field that contains the recipients' email addresses.

Type

There are four options to choose from here:

semicolon-separated list
Free-form text
Values from a multiple-select list (available when a text data field is selected as the source for the email addresses)
Distribution List (selectable when a string data field is selected as the source for the email addresses)

Supervisor / Deputy of the Current User

This setting retrieves the email address of the current user's supervisor or deputy.

Options

One email per recipient

A single email is generated for each recipient. If this setting is not enabled, all recipients will be listed in the email, separated by semicolons.

This setting cannot be configured for CC and BCC recipients.
