[Solved] How do I send an email to a random address (ie. Not someone who is an Intelligent BO)?

Jaymer

UPDATE: TL;DR; Was a bug

… like a guest user who comes in via logonGuest.aw, and has no data saved anywhere.
Fills out a form for info. And gives his email address.

I can’t use SEND notif TO <intelligentBO> cause there is no record for the user.
A notification MUST be sent to an Intelligent BO and have the TO part. So SEND is out.

I want to use a document so it’s a nice HTML email.
Also, I need to use “USING outgoingEmailAccount”
I’m missing (and forgetting) something simple.

IF there is no way, maybe I need to create a junk BO, just to create a record with this persons email, send it, then delete it?
Seems odd to do this tho.

Assign the email address (or multiple email addresses seperated by a ; ) to the BCC and send.

Jaymer

does this still use a "SEND Notif to BO" syntax?

Is this a dummy BO I create a new record in just to send this email?
If the main email (the "To") just a dummy mailbox that going to receive the email also, in addition to my guest in the BCC ?

Not quite

CREATE notif WITH notif.CC=<your guest's email address*> // I use CC but I guess BCC would work too
SEND notif

No BO needed and the email is sent to the addresses in CC and/or BCC

I assume the form your guest fills out is the form for a BO, so you do have their email address?

I was trying this initially, but Aware will not save my Process if I remove the TO portion.

This will save:

but remove the marked "TO" portion and it will NOT SAVE. The "*" stays in the eclipse tab at the top.
gotta be a bug.
I can remove the "USING" portion, but then thats not the same as I can't specify an outgoing email server.

CREATE IncidentNotifictionEmail WITH 
 IncidentNotifictionEmail.Subject=AdhocIncidentEmail.Subject,
 IncidentNotifictionEmail.Message=AdhocIncidentEmail.Message,
 IncidentNotifictionEmail.FromAddress='from_me@customaware.com',
 IncidentNotifictionEmail.Attachment=AdhocIncidentEmail.IncidentReport,
 IncidentNotifictionEmail.BCC=AdhocIncidentEmail.NonUsers
SEND IncidentNotifictionEmail

Where AdhocIncidentEmail.NonUsers is a ; delimited string of email addresses
