Events - triggering emails 
spacerspacer

Creation or modification of a Table record can trigger the sending of emails - 'event-driven emails'.

There is no limit to the number of emails that can be triggered by the addition of a record, and each email could be sent to multiple people.

Uses include:

  • simple confirmation-of-change emails notify someone about the new/changed record.
  • sending the contents of the new/changed record to all the members of a usergroup (ie a mailing list).

To set up an event-driven email

  1. Browse to the Table component*
  2. In the Toolbox, Select 'Configure'
  3. Choose the Events tab
  4. You can now add Conditions and Actions to the Event tree. An Email is a type of Action.

 

* You can also set events on a Data Entry Form attached to a Table. In that case, the event will be triggered after the change is made through the Data Entry Form.
