About: EMAILWRITER endpoint

In Business Integration Solutions, use the EMAILWRITER endpoint to write email messages to configured recipients.

Usage

Use this endpoint to send messages using the built-in mail capabilities of Business Central.

Concept

To relay messages via email, add at least one email account.

This endpoint works best with the following activities:

• Attachment Generator activity: attaches standard Microsoft Dynamics BC reports in PDF, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Excel formats.

Email accounts must be configured before testing or demoing notifications.
