Title: Sending Bulk emails.....
Post by: Richard I on November 19, 2016, 12:08:31 AM

Hi There,
Using the "TestEmailsendControl template"
Im wanting  to send bulk emails.

The problem is that  the looping of the code seems to overwrite the lsendto variable  so that all the emails go to one email address.
The email address changes  with the messages.as expected.

Is there a work around, or a different template perhaps?

Thanks
 Richard


This is the code im using to call the template and process....
lCount = 0
Display()


SET(Dinner)
LOOP until access:Dinner.Next()
   IF Din:EmailConfirmation = 1       THEN CYCLE END
   IF Din:RequestDate <  lstartdate  THEN CYCLE END
   IF Din:RequestDate > lenddate    THEN CYCLE END
   lsendto = Din:Email
   MESSAGE('Din:Email = '& Din:Email)

   POST(EVENT:Accepted,?BUTTONSendEmail)
 
   MESSAGE('Din:Email = '& Din:Email)
 
   lCount += 1
   Display()
   Din:EmailConfirmation = 1
   access:Dinner.Update()   
END

Hi Richard,

Do not create a loop inside the procedure.
Create a loop outside the procedure, which calls the procedure once per email address.
See the \examples\nettalk\email\demo example. (nt9)
or \email\send emails from a process example (nt8)

cheers
