Messages flow

Input

This component doesn't expect any specific input message, only if an expression in Double Braces is informed in some of its fields.

Output

When executing an Email V2 component, the following JSON structure will be generated:

{
    "from": "a@a.com",
    "to": "a@a.com,a@a.com.br",
    "cc":"a@a.com,a@a.com.br",
    "bcc": "a@a.com,a@a.com.br",
    "subject": "Subject",
    "content": "<html>Test Email!</html>",
    "charset": "UTF-8",
    "success": true,
    "attachments": [{
        "type": "ATTACHMENT",
        "attachment": "attachment.extension"
    }]
}
  • from: sender.

  • to: recipients.

  • cc: recipients in copy.

  • bcc: recipients in hidden copy.

  • subject: subject.

  • content: message body. If the message body exceeds 256 characters, the result will be truncated.

  • charset: charset.

  • success: if the message is well succeed.

  • attachments: array with the sent attachments.

The files manipulation inside a pipeline occurs in a protected way. The files can be accessed in a temporary directory that only the pipeline under deployment has access to.

To better understand the messages flow in the Digibee Integration Platform, read our article about Messages processing.

Email V2 in Action

See below how the component responds to a determined situation and its respective configuration.

Sending a text file (xpto.txt) as attachment in RAW mode and the email body having images as well

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
  <title>Demystifying Email Design</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
</head>
<body>
<img src="cid:myImage.png" />
</body>
</html>
  • Authenticated: enabled

  • Is Over TLS: enabled

  • Attachment As Raw: enabled

  • Attachments:

[
{"type": "INLINE", "attachment": "myImage.png" },
{"type": "ATTACHMENT", "attachment": "xpto.txt" }
]

The result will be:

{
    "from": "email@gmail.com",
    "to": "some_other_email@gmail.com,second_email@gmail.com",
    "cc":"",
    "bcc": "",
    "subject": "Hello",
    "content": "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv ...TRUNCATED",
    "charset": "UTF-8",
    "success": true,
    "attachments": [
        {"type": "INLINE", "attachment": "myImage.png" },
        {"type": "ATTACHMENT", "attachment": "xpto.txt" }
    ]
}

See how to pass values in a dynamic way using the connector:

In this example, we pass a variable indicating the emission of an invoice:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  </head>
<body>
 
Good afternoon, <br/>
Below is the invoice <a href='${NF}'>(Click here)</a> referring to the monthly license fee for the platform – due for <b> ${M_VENC}</b>. <br/>
Payment will be via <b>bank transfer</b> - given in the body of the invoice. <br/><br/>


Please, confirm the receipt. <br/>
Any questions, we are available. <br/><br/>
  <br/>
  <br/>
Att.,
Customer relationship
</body>
</html>

Notice that the connector allows the use of Double Braces:

JSON Data

{
    "remetente": "digibee@gmail.com",
    "destinatario" : "digi@gmail.com",
    "destinatario_cc" : "digi1@gmail.com",
    "destinatario_bcc" : "digi2@gmail.com",
    "port" : "587",
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "NF": "98787979789",
    "M_VENC" : "13/01/2023"
}

Technology

We use Freemarker to make our conversions and transformations in the email body template. Read the Freemarker external documentation to know how to use it.
