How to use a property as an email address in Send Email.
How do I enter a property reference as the Email Address in the To: field on the Send Email smart shape's form? The lesson only covered using Parties, and that's not what the Notifying Users from Within a Process exercise wants. Help just states to use a "property reference", but the usual formats (.ManagerEmail, .Employee.ManagerEmail, or even <<.ManagerEmail>>) don't work, and I can't find a format in Help.
Help entry for Send Email:
SendEmail
Use the SendEmail utility to automatically generate an email. Complete the Automation Details section on the SendEmail property panel as described below.
Field | Description |
| Send to | Select from the following: |
| To Party | Select to indicate that you would like to sendemail to one or more specific parties. |
| Parties | Required, if you select party. Enter or select the work parties you would like to send mail to. |
| To | Required, if you selectEmail address. Enter one or more addresses, using a text string or a property reference, and a comma separator between addresses. |
Setting property values in pySetFieldDefaul still not able to see the expected result.
Dear ".Employee.ReportingManager"
This is to inform that new employee record has been created for
employeeID- ".Employee.EmployeeID"

Hi,
you cannot just type in .object.property, you need to use the "add property" icon in order to add a property into your email template.
Note: you could try {.object.property} but you will miss formatting for instance.

The best way is to use the "add property" button this is because you will be also able to define formats.
HI
Even I am struck at the same step.
I am not able to refer the property at TO field since it is a plain textbox.

Hi Tom and Tejeswini,
In developing an application you are capturing an email address with the property. The property should be test field.Here there are two ways, if you are saving the data in the data table means you have to create page in the work class of refering the data class and the other thing is directly you will create a property in the work class to capture the data.Then in the email smart shape which of having the TO option as the test field, there you can directly give the name as if you refered a page means .pagename.property or if you created a property in work means directly give .property. it will refers to the text which enters into the property and will send the email.
Check entering the valid email address and the email account configuration is done properly or not. The important thing is by which mail you are sending the emails to others, that mail should make less secure through gmail.
Let me if any issues will come.
Thank you.
Dear Tom,
If you have created a Text property that holds the email address of the manager at .Employee.ManagerEmail, you can use ".Employee.ManagerEmail" in the "To:" field.
You just have to remember to initialise the value before you send the notification! Usually this is what most students forget to do, and so Send Email will ignore and not send out any mails.
Tip: You can use the pySetFieldDefaults data transform to configure a value for the .Employee.ManagerEmail property. Make sure it's a valid format, e.g. "a@b.com".
