Email notification

[mekrreddy]

Hello,

In my requirement I need to send emails to 10 diff people with 10 diff attachments, Do I need to use 10 diff email notification stages to accomplish this? Is there a way I can minimise the no of stages being used.??

Please give your thoughts...
Thanks in advance

yes, you can minimise the numbers to 3 using startloop, endloop and 1 notification activity and parameterizing email address and attachment file name. Or to 1 by writing a routine which uses dssendmail() (this will help if you need to change the mail text too). But all depends on requirement.

2 more stages required UserVariables_Activity + Nested_Condition :D

Email1 - attch1

Use UserVariables to map e-mail list and attachment depending on startloop counter value. Use "If Then Else" in Expression field.

Code: Select all

If StartLoop_Activity_Email.$Counter =1 Then test1@test.com Else  If StartLoop_Activity_Email.$Counter =2 Then test2@test.com ......

If StartLoop_Activity_Email.$Counter =1 Then File1(Job Parameter) Else  If StartLoop_Activity_Email.$Counter =2 Then File2 ......

think on your suggestion, can you reduce any stage?

using a list loop like

test1@test.com,attachment1.txt|test2@test.com,attachment2.txt|.....

and using field function on counter will takeout your nested condition stage and also the user variable activity stage.

test1@test.com,attachment1.txt|test2@test.com,attachment2.txt|.....and using field function on counter will takeout your nested condition stage ...

I am sorry ..Now I am learning new here..so be with me...what if there are more processing stages after this notification ? how do you map for email1--> attachment1, email2--> attachment2,...so on..in notification stage?

Take advantage of the $Counter functionality of the Loop stages. This should help if you have multiple lists you need to loop through.

I exactly did that,
used loop counter inside user variable, like if counter 1 email1 --> attachment1,
counter2 --> attachment2.. so on, coded in the derivation part of the user variable stage (awesome stage in sequence jobs)
thanks a bunch guys..
