About Email Account data instances
Use an email account data instance to record the email accounts that your system uses to send outbound email correspondence generated during flow processing and to receive inbound email. The Pega-ProCom agent uses information in an email account data instance to process outgoing email 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 email account
with a name that matches the class group of the work item and the Type set to
Notify. If the activity does not find a match, it uses the email account
named Default instead.
Therefore, always maintain one email account named Default so the activity will always find an account. If different applications need to use different email accounts, use the name of the application’s class group as the name of the email account so the standard activities will find it. For example, in the Finance-LoanSystem-HomeLoan class group, the Account Name is HomeLoan and the Account Type is Notify.
