Send HTML E-Mails using SAP Build

Baschi — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 14:37:54 GMT

Dear SAP Community,

is there a way to send Mails from SAP Build or SAP Build Process Automation in customizable HTML Format?
(e.g. by defining Mail Templates with logos). Unfortunately the mail composer of SAP Build Process Automation does not allow us to use HTML code.

Thank you for your support

Hello bahainf

You can send customized emails using Automation Artifact.

1. Generate your HTML body as explained in this blog and use the below automation activities.
2. Create a custom script to create an HTML body. Add the HTML body content that was generated in the above step

3. Create a string variable for HTML body

3. Create Email Parameters and pass the generated HTML body

4. Send Email.

You need an agent running on a machine with outlook installed for this, is it not?

Thank you for this solution, is there any other alternative in SAP Build not requiring an irpa desktop agent? Thank you - Baschi

Hi,

Have you been able to realize it in any way?

We are trying to include HTML code inside the E-mail, but we don't see any solution.

Have you had any additional options?

Thanks

Hello Baschi and Javier,

You cannot embed HTML tags in Mail activity of the process. Only workaround I can think of is that you can form the HTML email body from some CAP or external application, call that application via Action and then pass that as text from Process Content in Mail Body.

Archana

H Chaitanya_Priya, some parts of the scripts are cut out, is there a blog on the complete steps to enable easy replication of what you posted? If it is available, can you share the link to the blog?

Hi @Archana ,

I tried the same by passing the html content as an output of a Action that connects to a CAP service. However, BPA processes it as a string in the mail body. How do you handle this in BPA ?

The context in BPA with the mailBody value:
