Email Node


The Email Node automatically sends to defined recipients an email message about the document. The email can include HTML formatting; a link to the document; and/or the document can be attached.

The Email Node features S9 Notation, an autocomplete/type ahead tool for embedding variables into specific Nodes fields. Type in a single brace ( { ) in a field that supports S9 Notation to view a list. Use S9 Notation to access a Field or Process Field.
