7.10.2 Trigger E-mails
E-mail templates are used to assemble and transmit e-mails when certain trigger conditions
occur. For an e-mail template, one or more trigger conditions can be defined. The e-mail
will be sent, when one of the trigger conditions is activated. Depending of the trigger data
point type, the trigger conditions can be refined.
Note, that the behavior of the trigger data point is influenced by the COV properties of the
data point. If the Only notify on COV property is checked, the data point triggers only if its
value changes to the value of the trigger condition. If that property is not checked, the data
point triggers on every write with a value that matches the trigger condition.
The trigger for sending an e-mail can be enabled or disabled altogether by using an enable
data point. This data point must be of type binary. If the value of that enable data point is
TRUE, the trigger conditions are evaluated. If the value of the enable is FALSE, no e-mails
are be triggered.
To Create an E-mail Trigger
1. Under the Global Objects folder, select the E-mail Configuration sub-folder.
2. Right-click and select Configure E-mail Template … from the context menu.
3. Change to the Mail Triggers tab.
Note: Of course, you can also change directly to the Mail Triggers tab when creating an e-mail
template.
