DBSync Email service connector provides an easy way to send an Email to any smtp server. It allows you to process outgoing Emails and perform appropriate conditional actions that can be defined while creating your project, process, workflows and rules.

To establish a connection to any of the outgoing SMTP server, a user must:

• Have a valid license to DBSync Email service connector, user name and password to connect to DBSync iPaaS platform.

• Have a valid username, password, SMTP host and port to send outbound Emails via SMTP server.

Uses Of Email Connector

The Email connector supports two modes of Outbound Emails:

1. You can initiate a constant Outbound Emails by defaulting the Outbound Email messages. All Emails sent will have the same message. This is useful when a user wants to get notified that a process has completed.

2. Sending Emails with dynamic content and recipients. This is useful when you are reading information from a database, or external system, and need to dynamically change content to send the emails. To use this feature, you will have to construct the recipient, subject or message body during mapping process.

The following fields are exposed as part of dynamically constructing Outbound Emails.

Field	Description	Outbound Message Construction
To	Email address of the recipient.	If it is empty, the value is taken from Rule recipient property.
From	Email address of the sender.	If it is empty, the value is taken from Rule sender property.
CC	Email address to send to multiple recipients
Msgid	Message ID	If it is empty, Email connector will assign a Message-ID.
Subject	Subject	If it is empty, the value is taken from Rule subject property.
