Dynamic Email Addresses

Use workflow parameters and variables to dynamically define email addresses.

When you enter email addresses in the email properties, use the

Dynamic Email Addresses

tab to select parameters and variables that define email addresses. You cannot type a parameter or variable name in the address fields.

The following table describes the types of parameters and variables that you can use to define dynamic email addresses:

Parameter or Variable Type	Description
Workflow parameters	Use a string workflow parameter to define the email address in a parameter file when you run the workflow.
System workflow variables	Use the UserName system workflow variable to send an email to the user that runs the workflow.
User-defined workflow variables	Use a user-defined string workflow variable to assign an email address using an Assignment task in the workflow.

When you define an email address in a parameter file or in an Assignment task, enter a single email address for the value.
