Purpose

Use an e-mail account data instance to record the e-mail servers and accounts that your system uses to send outbound e-mail correspondence generated during flow processing. The Pega-ProCom agent uses information in an e-mail account data instance to process outgoing e-mail and for Short Message Service texting.

The flow correspondence feature is implemented by a set of standard activities and rules. The standard activity Work-.getEmailSenderInfo looks for an e-mail account with a name that matches the class group of the work object and the Type set to Notify. If the activity does not find a match, it uses the e-mail account named Default instead.

Therefore, always maintain one e-mail account named Default so the activity will always find an account. If different applications need to use different e-mail accounts, use the name of the application’s class group as the name of the e-mail account so the standard activities will find it. For example: HomeLoan.Notify.

NoteThis form includes a tab named Incoming Mail. In versions of Process Commander prior to 5.3, this tab was used to configure e-mail accounts that managed incoming e-mail. The Incoming Mail tab remains on the form to support backward compatibility, but as a best practice in new development, use email services to manage incoming email.

Access

Use the Rules by Type explorer to list e-mail account data instances on your system.

To create e-mail accounts, use the Email Accelerator. The accelerator creates the rules and data objects to support both outbound e-mail through e-mail account data objects, and inbound e-mail with email service rules. To start the accelerator:

  1. From the Developer portal home page, click the Integration Integration icon to access the Integration slice.
  2. Locate the Accelerators area.
  3. Click the Email Accelerator link.
