Send Email

A job can be set up to send an email to a number of recipients when it is executed.

You can write a message with included images, attach an analysis or a file, and add links to the web clients and library.
Important: To enable this task, you must add SMTP settings to the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file; for instructions, see Adding SMTP Settings to the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config File.

Attached visualization images You can include images from visualizations in the email. The images will be shown in the message body. The data will be embedded in the email.
Add... Open to select the visualization images to add.

Attached files You can include files in the email, for example a PDF created by the Export to PDF task.
Add... Opens the Select File Attachment dialog, where you select the file to attach, specify the name of the attachment, and select if the file should be deleted after the email has been sent.
Note: Only select to delete the file if you are absolutely sure that the file should be deleted after the email has been sent. It is recommended to only delete temporary files, such as PDF files created by the Export to PDF task for the sole purpose of being sent out in an email. To avoid deleting files that should be saved, files can only be deleted if they have a create or modification time in the last 30 minutes. The time can be changed in the allowDeleteOfFilesModifiedLastMinutes setting in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file.
Note: Allowed file paths may be limited by the allowedFilePaths setting in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file. For more information, see the Spotfire Server and Environment Installation and Administration help.
