Setting up Dynamic Data Inputs to the Email

Data fields defined in the process can be used to dynamically set parts of the email at runtime - for example, the recipient, part of the body text of the email, or the contents of attachments.

In the To field, click the Browse button () at the right-hand side of the field. The Select Data Field or Formal Parameter dialog is displayed.

Procedure

  1. Select claimant, then click OK. The To field now contains the token %claimant%, indicating that at runtime the field will be populated with the current value of the claimant formal parameter.
  2. In the same way, add the replyToAddress data field to the Reply To field. Your E-Mail tab should now appear like this.
    Note: You can also insert a data field as a runtime token at any point by simply typing the field name enclosed in percentage characters. You do not have to use the Browse button.
  3. Save the project.
