MAILCALL

Top  Previous  Next

UnForm includes a copy of the MailCall utility that enables emailing of attachments from within UnForm.  This is most often used to send PDF files, but it can be used to send any file at all, subject to limitations imposed by the mail server (which may limit email size, filter attachment types, or impose quotas).

 

The MailCall utility is used internally by the deliver command, the email command, which emails a complete PDF-formatted job, and the email() code block function, which can send email(s) in mid-job, possibly with attachments resulting from sub-jobs managed by the jobxxx series of code block functions.  These features are capable of handling most email requirements.  However, within a code block, you can use the MailCall program directly, for any degree of control required.

 

For details about using MailCall, you can refer to the MailCall manual.  All features except those the provide a user interface are available to UnForm jobs.  Where there are references to dialects of the Basic language, note that UnForm 10.0 uses PxPlus 14 or higher.

 

The UnForm instance of MailCall supports UnForm's encrypted password store.  Define the email password under a name in the browser admin interface, and then specify the name with the syntax "store:name".
