Tips & Tricks
- The structured variable can be referenced anywhere regular variables can be referenced.
- The Getemail action allows you to name the variables that contain the pieces of the email. For example, if you name the BodyTextVar variable "body", you can use {body} anywhere curly braces are supported. This is especially useful in generating automatic responses.
- Technically, the Getemailcreates a C# class that can be invoked within a Snippetaction.
- Using a pipe delimiter ( | ) in an email subject line will cause the subject to be split (into an array), obligating you to piece the subject line back together.
