Re: Email Notification Blast to ever changing QB User Email List via an automation.

Hi George,

How is the body of the email set up? Does it use the Default or Custom Message?

If it's "default" or using the %recData%, you can change it to use the individual fields vs the whole form. This way you can leave off the field with all the emails.

    Hi Sharon,
    I am using a Custom Message.
    It appears the emails are coming over on the multi-record version.
    Here is my custom message:
    %RepeatOn%
    [ACQ Notification - Description]

    Click to place hold (you must be logged in to Terminus for this to work):
    [ACQ Notification Hold URL]

    Click here to log in to Terminus: https://terminus-skystone.quickbase.com/db/bnz8up522
    IGNORE BELOW
    %RepeatOff%


    Should I be using %recData% instead of %RepeatOn% - %RepeatOff% ? I am not familiar with %recData%

      The repeat markers are used to repeat the info for each record in multi-record action. I think this may be where your issue is.

      The %recData% inserts a copy of the record based on the specified form. I don't believe you can use the %recData% with the multi-record version of the email.

      If the records are added in bulk, the 'mult-record' version will automatically be sent and per my note above, would include all the records. 

      There isn't a good in-between unless you can trick it into sending a single record version.

        I was thinking maybe I could create an automation that would trigger a single notification all with the same content in them. Each trigger would some how be associated with a different email recipient. What do you think?
