M407: Settings: Embedded Emails to be Transmitted Repeatedly

 

When you need a repetitive process such as one to transmit multiple emails or generate multiple PDF files, you should consider a looping structure which consists only of automatic [Service Tasks] and [Events] (i.e. without a [Human Task]). You will need to create list data such as addresses or file names which should be stored in a String-type multiple line Data Item. (Script Step)

1. Overview of Storage Methods for Sequence Information

a. String Data in multiple lines

Storing strings line by line (separated with line breaks)

b. Table-type Data

Storing strings in String-type data within a Table-type Data item

• There are other methods of sequence information management, such as comma delimiting in a String-type single line Data Item, or Select-type check box

2. Overview of the Methods of Calling Sequence Information inside the Loop

1. Referring to sequence information

Retrieve necessary data by referring to the sequence information using a [Script Task]

2. Setting the referenced information

Set it to a Data item; for example, "email destination"

3. Execute Events, etc. with the information

Place an event; for example, "email transmission"

4. Confirm the repeating conditions

Set the condition for ending the loop, such as by the number of repetitions or a time limit, etc.

• According to the restrictions in the Terms of Use it can not be used like an email delivery agency
• If the number of processes in the Workflow (Automated Steps, Human Steps, various Events) goes beyond the 500 Step limit it will cause a midstream error

Config. Items: Script Task

Z. Additional Information: A Recursive Workflow

a. Dequeue a data list and call the process recursively

Dequeues a list set to a multi-line string, and then recursively calls its own application

• An Add-on called Multiline String, Dequeue First is recommended
