SMTP Client

SMTP, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a protocol used for sending and
receiving email messages over the Internet.  It plays a fundamental role in the email
communication process, enabling messages to be routed and delivered to their intended
recipients. The primary purpose of SMTP is to facilitate the reliable and efficient
transmission of email messages across different email servers and systems.

 The “SMTP Client” at “Send” activity in Robility provide a way to integrate email
communication into your automation processes.

Here is an example of how to use the “SMTP Client” in “Email Automation” to send
an email. 

1.       Create a new solution named “Email Automation”.

2.       Drag and drop the “Send” activity to the workflow from “Email Automation”
feature.

3.       Now, configure the “SMTP Server” into the properties.

a.       Navigate to the properties and enter the “SMTP Client” as
“SMTP server address”. It will be provided by the organization.
This field accepts values in the "String" datatype.

b.       Provide the “DomainName” in the “CredDomain” property.

c.       Provide the “Sender’s username” in the “CredUsername”
property to authenticate with the “SMTP Server” provided.
This field accepts values in the "String" datatype.

d.       Provide the “Sender’s Password” in the “CredPassword”
property for authentication.  This field accepts values in
the "String" datatype.

property.

b.       To: Enter the “Recipient's email address” in the “ToMailId”
property.

c.       Subject: Set the “Subject” of the email in the “Subject”
property.

property.

   

5.       Declare a variable in the “Result” box of the output activity as “Status”.

a.       Method 1 – Click on the "Result" property within the "Send"
activity and enter the variable name. In this case, we are
using " Status”. Then, press "Ctrl+Q," which is a shortcut
key to create a variable.

b.       Method 2 - Click on the Variables pane and enter the name
" Status." Then, in the "Variable Types" column, select
"Boolean" from the dropdown menu.

6.       Connect the output of the "Send" activity to a “Write log" activity to indicate
that the email has been sent.

a.       Double click on the “WriteLog” activity and enter the
“InputString” as “Status.ToString”.

b.       The “.ToString” is advised to use along with any other data
types other than string format. It converts any data type into
string.

c.       Enter the log level as “Info” in the property.

  

7.       Execute the Workflow.
