Using an SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) output connector

The SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) connector is used to attach output from a Process to an SMTP email. The output is retrieved from the Process connected to the SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) connector, and attached to the email delivered via the same connector. The email editor is included in the runtime output configuration of the SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) connector.

Note:

This connector is only used in upgraded Design Center Projects where the old version of the Project included SMTP (MIME) connectors. If you create new Design Center Projects you should use the new SMTP (MIME) connector. See Using an SMTP (MIME) output connector.

Email body

You create the email body in a body editor. You can use plain text or HTML in the email body.

Attaching files on disk to the email

You can attach files on disk (static attachments) to the email.

Scripting functions for attachments

You can use the scripting functions AttachmentBegin and AttachmentEnd to handle attachments.
