Dynamic Email Content

Use workflow parameters and variables in the email subject and body to dynamically define the content.

You can select a workflow parameter or variable name when you select

Email Content

in the email properties.

You can type a workflow parameter or variable name in the subject or body fields when you select

notification type in the

Notification

tab. When you type the parameter or variable name in the subject or body, use the required syntax.

For example, you create a workflow variable named MappingErrorRows and assign the number of error rows output value for a Mapping task to the variable. You enter the following text in the body of a Notification task:

Mapping failed to write ${var:MappingErrorRows} rows to the target.

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

Parameter or Variable Type	Description
Workflow parameters	Use a workflow parameter of any type to define email content in a parameter file when you run the workflow.
System workflow variables	Use any of the system workflow variables to include the values of the system workflow variables in email content.
User-defined workflow variables	Use a workflow variable of any datatype to include output values produced by other tasks in email content. Or, use a workflow variable of any datatype to include values assigned to the variable with an Assignment task in email content.
