Email based on a data item
« on: 20 Mar 2010 01:32:02 am »
Hi,

The requirement is to send an email to customers when their requested product is available. I have noticed that in an 'Email task', the receipeints can be selected from Cognos directory. But, how can the email be sent based on a data item?

All our customers Logon IDs and email addresses are available in a query subject, but I am not sure how to link these ids in the email task. Please help!

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to just drag the email data item into the email field.
