Using an SMTP (MIME) output connector

The SMTP (MIME) connector is used to deliver output via SMTP email. The output is retrieved from the Process connected to the SMTP (MIME) connector and/or added as attachments to the email. The email editor is included in the runtime output configuration of the SMTP (MIME) connector.

Email body

You can use rich HTML formatting in the email body. You can create a static email body or use an attachment as email body. The attachment can either be a file stored on disk or HTML output from a StoryTeller or Template Engine Process.

Alternative email body

You can create an alternative email body to be used in case the email client does not support rich HTML formatting. You can create a static alternative email body or use an attachment as alternative email body.

Attaching output from other Processes

You can attach output from Processes connected to Attachment connectors to the email. The attachment can be used as an attachment, email body or alternative email body.

Certificate store

A certificate store is used to sign and encrypt emails. The certificate store is a resource that includes all certificates needed to sign and encrypt emails.

Zipping attachments

You can zip all attachments into a single zip archive, and add the zip-archive as attachment to the email.

Storing emails to disk

You can store the emails to disk, and use the appropriate tool to archive the stored email files.
