Using the Send Message Program Type


When you select the Send Email workflow policy program in the Actions applet, the Send Message Arguments applet displays along with the Recipients applet.

The Send Message Arguments applet allows you to create an email template used to build the message sent to the recipient specified in the Recipients applet.
