SendEMail@1

Node SendEMail@1 is used to send an email using the specified SMTP server configuration. The node requires the email subject and body to be provided in the payload. The email can be sent to one or more recipients.

This node needs an existing SMTP configuration. The configuration is created in the OctoMesh UI under the General/Configuration tab. The configuration is used to connect to the SMTP server.

Adapter Prerequisites​

Node Configuration​

For fields targetPath, targetValueWriteMode, and targetValueKind, see Overview. Field path is not used in this node.

transformations:
  - type: SendEMail@1 # Send the email
    serverConfiguration: smtptest # The name of the SMTP configuration object
    subjectPath: $.subject # Path to the email subject in the payload
    path: $.resultBody # Path to the email body in the payload
    toPath: $.to # Path to the email recipient in the payload

Usage Example​

Here's an example of how you might use the SendEMail@1 node in a transformation pipeline. In this example, the node retrieves a notification template named emaildemo and stores the template body in the payload at $.body and the subject at $.subject. There are two placeholders in the template body, tableData and firstName, which are replaced with the query result and the customer's first name, respectively. After replacing the placeholders, the email is sent to the specified email address.
