email from query

[Anonymous]

Good day.

I am not even sure this is possible so I figured I would turn to the experts. I want to have Talend run a database query that includes a where clause and only returns a list of first names and email addresses.From that list, I would like to send an email to each person individually and perhaps address them by there name in the body of the email, something like:

" Hi John,

Please find attrached the picture of such and such.

Sincerly,

me"

Is this possible and if so, can one of you gurus provide me some support in setting this up?

Thanks for looking!

Hi, 

You could try the following. 

• Create an input component relevant to your source db and filter out name and email only (in my example i used a fixedflowinput to make it easier)
• Add a tFlowToIterate component, this will write your name/email into the global variables for each result you get
• Add a tSendMail component after the FlowToIterate
• User the Global Variables to fill in your email, name.

Include \n in the Message body to create a multiline email.
