Parameters

Table 33-8 SEND Parameters

Parameter Description
p_template_static_id Static identifier string, used to identify the shared component email template.
p_placeholders JSON string representing the placeholder names along with the values, to be substituted.
p_to (Required) Valid email address to which the email is sent. For multiple email addresses, use a comma-separated list.
p_cc Valid email addresses to which the email is copied. For multiple email addresses, use a comma-separated list.
p_bcc Valid email addresses to which the email is blind copied. For multiple email addresses, use a comma-separated list.
p_from (Required) Email address from which the email is sent. This email address must be a valid address. Otherwise, the message is not sent.
p_replyto

Address of the Reply-To mail header. You can use this parameter as follows:

  • If you omit the p_replyto parameter, the Reply-To mail header is set to the value specified in the p_from parameter
  • If you include the p_replyto parameter, but provide a NULL value, the Reply-To mail header is set to NULL. This disables automatic email replies.
  • If you include p_replyto parameter, but provide a non-null value (for example, a valid email address), you send these messages, but the automatic replies go to the value specified (for example, the email address)
p_application_id Application ID where the email template is defined. Defaults to the current application (if called from within an application).

Note:

When calling the SEND procedure from outside the context of an APEX application (such as from a Database Scheduler job), you must specify the p_application_id parameter.

        p_to                 => 'some_user@somewhere.com' );
