Send Email

This channel hook sends out emails when new content arrives on a channel.

Configuring the channel hook

Channel hooks can be attached to a channel from the Hooks page in the Channel Properties dialog.

First, your mail server needs to be configured in the Global tab. This only needs to be done once. Please contact your system administrator if you are unsure of how to do this.

• Mail Server. Machine name of your mail server. This parameter is mandatory.
  
  
• Mail Server User Name. User name if the mail server requires one.
  
  
• Mail Server Password. Password if the mail server requires one.

Next, you can configure the settings for each hook that you attach to a channel:

• Send-To Email Address. The address to send the emails to. This parameter is mandatory.
  
  
• From Email Address. The address to use as the From address in the email.
  
  
• Reply-To Email Address. The address to use as the Reply-To address in the email.
  
  
• Consolidate New Feed Items. Set this to True if you want to consolidate multiple new feed items into a single email (instead of sending out one email per new item).
  
  
• New Feed Item Template. Path of a template file that will be used to generate the email.
  
  
• New Feed Item Template. Path of a template file that will be used to generate the email.
  
  
• Consolidated New Feed Items Template. Path of a template file that will be used to generate the email (if new items are being consolidated).
