The following fields are relevant to both emails and push notifications:

Option Description
To (emails) The email address of the person the email/notification is to be sent to. If there are more than one, use a comma , as a separator, e.g. "auser@acompany.com,anotheruser@acompany.com".

Language You can use i18n to internationalize your application. Enter the language code that you would like your email/notification to be sent in and use AppTranslator to create a dictionary for that language.
You can populate this field by writing a script (e.g. ${P_user.preferences.my_language}). Once populated, it is used to determine the language of the email/notification. If this field is left unpopulated, the following rules determine the language:
- If the task is assigned to one person, the email is sent in the assignee's preferred language. If the assignee is an unknown user, the email is sent in the default language of the i18n functions.
- If the task is assigned to several users, the email is sent in the default value of the i18n functions.
Subject The subject of the email or notification.

2 Options for Email Notification

If you choose to notify via email, these additional fields are available to you:

Option Description
Provider Choose the mail server (provider) to be used from the list of mail servers that belong to the same project or create a new provider.
From The user that the email should be sent from. The format can be "My name" <auser@acompany.com> or simply auser@acompany.com. The email address must be registered for an active RunMyProcess user, otherwise it will be replaced during process execution by "no-reply@runmyprocess.com". If you use a Google email provider, Google will replace the "From" with the connection login of the "Provider". If you use the default mail server, "no-reply@runmyprocess.com" will be used.
Note that special rules may apply depending on the selected mail server.
Reply to An email address, different to the "From" email address, to be used if a user wants to reply to the received email. You can enter multiple email addresses. If you enter more than one, use a comma , as a separator without any spaces, e.g. "auser@acompany.com,anotheruser@acompany.com". The email addresses must be registered for active RunMyProcess users. If one of the addresses is not registered for an active user, "no-reply@runmyprocess.com" will be used. If you use the default mail server, "no-reply@runmyprocess.com" will be used.
Note that special rules may apply depending on the selected mail server.

Character set Select the character set of the email content : "UTF-8" or "ISO-8859-1". "ISO-8859-1" is advised for French people because of accented letters.
Attached file Files to attach to the email. The files must have been uploaded to the RunMyProcess platform using the FileUpload Widget on a Web interface, retrieved using a connector, created by a Freemarker function or uploaded from Desktop/Files. Files on RunMyProcess are given a unique ID, this can be used here e.g. 054da1b0-9dec-11de-bc49-123138017cf3, or an array of file identifiers e.g. ["054da1b0-9dec-11de-bc49-123138017cf3","319523a0-f05b-11dc-a865-000000000000"] or ["${ref1}","${ref2}"]. You can change the name of the files by using the update_file() Freemarker function.
Message The content of the email. Its value can be fixed or dynamic. It can be in HTML or plain text. i18n can be used for internationalization, e.g. ${ P_quoted( i18n(‘my_msg', ‘Bonjour le monde') ) }, further details can be found here.
