An action to send an email.

Id #

The Id field shows the internal number of the action and its type. The number is for display purposes only and is determined automatically by the system. The action type cannot be changed subsequently.

Name #

The name of the action. The name is displayed in selection lists.

Comment #

The comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the action. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.

Delayed execution #

A period of time that is waited before the action is executed. A value here means that the action is only executed with this delay after the trigger has been activated.

Subject #

Text field for the subject of the email. You can use variables in this field by creating the corresponding code in the mail text and copying it here (see below).

Insert text / variable #

Enter the text of the message in the text field. Data can be inserted. Click on the Channel button to open a selection dialog in which you select the channel whose value is to be inserted into the text. The necessary code is then added to the text (in the form @[channel#id]). You can move this code in the text as desired, write things before or after it.

Add recipient #

In this list you define the recipients of the email. Use the + symbol to add the users who should receive the email (the email field must be filled in for the users to really work).

Add trigger #

In this list, you define which triggers initiate this action. Use the + symbol to add the desired triggers. The action is only executed when one of the selected triggers is activated.
