Description

Some central settings for the module are entered in the category configuration util.json in the configuration directory. These include the parameters for the mail server and encryption.

{
"mail": {
"server": "mail.example.com",
"port": 465,
"security": {
"tls": true,
"ssl": true
},
"auth": {
"username": "vorname.nachname@beispiel.de",
"password": "secret"
},
"sender": "Automation Platform <automation@beispiel.de>"
}
}

The content of a mail is defined by three parts, two of which can be used optionally. The principle works in a similar way to the b4A Documentation Builder. The content is composed of a header, main section and footer. Both the header and footer are optional. In all three parts, b4A Expressions can be used to define the content for a mail.
