Tips and 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 GETEMAIL creates a C# class that can be invoked within a SNIPPET action.
