SMTP Library

The SMTP Library is an importable library you can add to projects to use the SMTP protocol to send a rich HTML formatted emails from the Translator. This library is used in the Email Sender component.

Use the Translator's built in help to review how to use each function:

  • SMTPsend is used to send a rich HTML-formatted email.

  • SMTPbuildMime and SMTPaddAttachments are used to build MIME-encoded email attachments and headers.

-- Retrieve SMTP details from the component custom card   
local Configs = component.fields()   
   
-- Send an email. Set mime to true to send HTML–formatted emails,   
-- emails with non–ASCII characters, or include attachments.   
local Status, Response = SMTPsend{   
      server = Configs.EmailServer,   
      user = Configs.ServerUser,   
      password = Configs.ServerPassword,   
      sender = Configs.SenderEmail,   
      recipients = Configs.Recipients,   
      body = Body,   
      header = header,   
      attachments = attachments,   
      mime = true,   
      entity_type = ’text/html’,   
      live = false   
}
