Usage

The [EmailFile:] macro can be used to send any file on the file system as an email. The macro can be placed anywhere in a document, and will be removed in completed reports. Any email address used may include an optional display name, in which case the email address (person@domain) must be specified inside angle brackets, e.g. Bob Smith <bob.smith@mycompany.com>. Note that the validity and structure of email addresses are not validated. It is up to the macro user to ensure well-formed addresses are used. Whitespace is ignored.

Parameter	Type	Presence	Purpose	Options	Default
filePaths	List<String>	Mandatory	A list of paths to the files on the file system (relative to your Tenant's root folder). You cannot use folder names, only files. In Legacy Mode you can separate these by a semi-colon. In Normal Mode you can do the same or use a previously created list object.	N/A	N/A
subject	String	Mandatory	The e-mail subject.	N/A	N/A
to	List<String>	Mandatory	A semicolon-separated list of e-mail addresses.	N/A	N/A
bcc	List<String>	Optional	A semicolon-separated list of e-mail addresses.	N/A	N/A
body	String	Optional	The email body text. This will never appear in the actual report, just in the email. Format this as HTML. For the [EmailReport:] macro, this is the entire body. For the [Email:] macro, this is used to prefix the content between the [Email:] and [EndEmail:] macros.	N/A	N/A
cc	List<String>	Optional	A semicolon-separated list of e-mail addresses.	N/A	N/A
comment	String	Optional	Add a comment to make your document template more readable. The comment is discarded in the output document.	N/A	N/A
compressFiles	Boolean	Optional	Whether to send each attachment as an individual .zip (compressed) file. Each .zip file will retain the original filename and add the .zip suffix, e.g. 'My Report.docx.zip'.	true false	false
connectionName	String	Optional	The name of the Connection.	N/A	N/A
displayName	String	Optional	The optional display name (shown in your email application) of the sender. NOTE: you can ONLY change the display name when you have specified a Connection e.g. with the 'connectionName' parameter or in the Configuration JSON section of the Connection. Otherwise email sending uses ReportMagic's default SMTP client and the display name is set by the system.	N/A	N/A
errorOnOverflow	Boolean	Optional	Should NCalc expression evaluation throw error on Overflow	true false	true
failureText	String	Optional	The text to display should the macro fail to execute. Note that a poorly-specified macro (e.g. omitting mandatory parameters) will still result in an error message.	N/A	N/A
fileSizeTooBigText	String	Optional	The text to send in the email if the attachments are too large to send.	N/A	N/A
from	String	Optional	A single e-mail address. This may not be supported by your email server (i.e. setting the sender to an arbitrary email), and can be omitted to use the default. When the email server does NOT support this, you may receive a System Error when processing the report, so you should check first by testing the macro. NOTE: you can ONLY change the from address when you have specified a Connection e.g. with the 'connectionName' parameter or in the Configuration JSON section of the Connection. Otherwise email sending uses ReportMagic's default SMTP client and the from address is set by the system. In other words, if you set the from address, you must set a Connection, and the email address does NOT need to have been set up anywhere else (you can choose any email but your mail server may not support it).	N/A	N/A
hidden	Boolean	Optional	Whether the section of the Word document contained inside the macro should be removed in the final output document (does not affect e-mail content).	true false	false
if	String	Optional	The condition that must be true in order for the macro to be executed/evaluated. Must either evaluate to true or false, for example: "3+5=8" or "contains('abcd', 'z').	N/A	true
mode	MacroMode	Optional	The mode in which variables are stored. In the legacy mode (default for Schedules), the variable created is a string and formatted. In the normal mode (default for Report Studio), the output variable is stored as a strongly-typed object, e.g. an Int32 or a List etc., rather than a formatted string.	Legacy Normal	Legacy
obfuscation	ObfuscationType	Optional	Obfuscation type. Use obfuscation to write reports where sensitive data is hidden. When used, ReportMagic guarantees that the same input string will map to the same output string for the whole of the report (but the next time the report runs, it will most likely map to a different value). If you use obfuscation, the property in your macro will not show up and instead, you will see a fake item of the obfuscation type chosen.	None UkTown DeviceName Company IpAddress PrivateIpAddress	None
priority	String	Optional	The e-mail priority.	normal high low	normal
warning	String	Optional	If specified, adds a warning message for this macro. This is processed as an NCalc, and the warning message will ALWAYS be present and will be the value of the evaluated NCalc expression.	N/A	N/A
