General

You can send an e-mail depending on the status of the job. (finished, started, cancelled, etc.)

Please fill in the Recipient, Subject and Message.

 

Placeholders

Placeholders (e.g. {JOB:Name}) can be inserted into the subject or the message.
Here you find a list of all possible placeholders.

 

Mail template

If you want to use a mail template you can choose an XML-template-file that was uploaded to your DAM before:

An example-xml-file containing a table with some job properties can be downloaded here (since version 1.20)
This file will produce an e-mail like this:

 

The template is expected to be similar to the framework shown here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<htmlmail version="1.0">
    <ac>{ac}</ac>
    <cc>{cc}</cc>
    <bcc>{bcc}</bcc>
    <subject>{subject}</subject>
    <message><![CDATA[
        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html lang="en">
        <head>
            <meta charset="UTF-8" />
            <style>
            </style>
        </head>
        <body>
            {message}
        </body>
        </html>
    ]]></message>
</htmlmail>

The tags <ac>, <cc>, <subject> and <message> must be set like you can see it here in the framework.
You can design the  <html> part according to your wishes or you adapt the previously mentioned example-xml-file.

These placeholders will be replaced according to your input fields:

Input field will replace placeholder contained in tag
Recipient {ac} <ac></ac>
CC recipient {cc} <cc></cc>
BCC recipient {bcc} <bcc></bcc>
Subject {subject} <subject></subject>
Message {message} <message></message>

 

In your XML-template-file you can use self configured placeholders.

For example, if your <message> tag contains the placeholder {header}, you can select this placeholder as configurable placeholder and set a value for it:

 

Furthermore all placeholders from the list of all possible placeholders can be used in the <subject> or <message> tag.
