mail attaching automation

Post by msbtrp23 »

Hello! I am a sys admin in a small firm, and my users send me files in network shared folder say N:/FORSEND and they name the files an an adress for example:refer09@gmail.com.doc or 01inf23.xls and they call me by phone because only i have an access for intranet mail server wich uses Lotus Notes mail agent, so want to automate following task with robotask: 1)monitor the folder FORSEND  2)when any file appears there, get it's name without extansions 3)switch to Lotus Notes and create new note and attach the current file 4)and somehow paste filename without extansion into adress row and send ENTER key (to initialize distant server) 5)and move sent file to another folder called SENT------------------------------------------------------i tried to solve this routine with MouseRobot tool but i couldn'twhether it is possible to do it with RoboTask                                                                Thanx in advance!

RoboTask is able to monitor specified folder to detect new files and send email directly without any mail agents.
If you want to keep the copy of email, you can specify your own address in CC field.
See this example. It sends email, attach new files to message, and move files into
another folder. Of course you need to change email parameters to desired (TO, FROM, SMTP)

Also you can see more simple example

Save the task as a file and use menu Task->Import in order to import into RoboTask

Hi Oleg,

I'm fighting with attachement email sending automation.
I checked the links you provided in previous discussion but got a 404 error.
Could you please send me or reply to this message with some samples ?

I try to list the files in a directory then pass this list to attach all the files to the email.
I need to send thoses files which are really small text files.

Thanks for advices,

Thanks very much Oleg, it works perfectly.
I was thinking a variable could do the job but finally with the list file it is OK.

Thanks for your help and you fast answer.
