Table 24-4 SEND Procedure 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

Valid email address to which the email is sent (required). 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

Email address from which the email is sent (required). 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 results in the suppression of 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).
