20.2.2 Sending Email Without a Template

Send emails with inline plain text or HTML and substitution strings.

You can send one-off emails using inline text and HTML with substitution strings for the email body. As shown below, the Welcome Packet email from Choosing Descriptive Process Names used this approach. The figure shows the Email Recipient page process selected in the processing tree and highlights:

  • Its Type is Send E-Mail
  • A To field value of &P34_EMPLOYEE_EMAIL.
  • Subject and Body Plain Text are configured
  • The SQL statement it uses to attach a ZIP file of welcome packet documents.
