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 Advanced 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
  Mail server user name (if required).
• Mail Server Password
  Mail server password (if required).

Next, configure the settings for each hook attached to the 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.
• Email Subject Line
  The email subject line.

  Use {%DEFAULT-SUBJECT-LINE%} as a placeholder for Awasu's default subject line, {%CHANNEL-NAME%} for the channel's name.
• 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.
• Consolidated New Feed Items Template
  Path of a template file that will be used to generate the email (if new items are being consolidated).
