Use buttons to configure sending emails

In Intrexx, buttons can be configured so that emails are sent when they are clicked. The settings for content, recipient, etc. are flexible.

The email configuration can be found in the properties dialog of buttons on the "Actions" tab.

If you have not already done so, please configure the email service in the "Tools" module in the first step, so that sending emails with Intrexx is possible in principle. You can find instructions here.

Send

Send e-mail / Configuration

Clicking on the "Send e-mail" checkbox opens a dialog in which the e-mail properties can be configured. The configuration can be edited again by clicking on " Configuration".

Recipient, Recipient CC, Recipient BCC

Send to

Ask user for recipient

With this setting, when the button configured to send emails is clicked, a prompt appears in the browser where users can specify any email address.

Static distribution list

A fixed list of email addresses can be entered here as a distribution list. Each address must be separated with a semicolon.

Dynamic distribution list

Application, Data group, Data field

Select the source of the email addresses here. Text data fields containing e-mail addresses separated by semicolons can also be used. Other separators are not permitted.

Edit filter

Opens a dialog in which the address list can be restricted in advance using filter criteria.

Address from email field

In contrast to the dynamic distribution list, the value from the current data set will be used. This setting is available from an edit or view page where a data record is opened or created.

Data Field

Select the field that contains the email addresses of the intended recipients.

Type

Select one of the following four types here:

Semicolon separated list
Free text
Values from multiple selection (selectable if a text data field is selected as the source for the e-mail addresses)
Distributor (selectable if a string data field is selected as the source for the e-mail addresses)

Superior / Deputy of current user

This setting is used to query the e-mail address of the current user's manager or deputy.

Options

One email for each recipient

A single email is generated for each recipient. If the setting is not set, all recipients are entered in the e-mail separated by a semicolon.

This option is not available on the ""Recipient CC/BCC"" tab.
