Overview
You want a way of automatically sending out email action alerts when an image has text note annotations added. You want to extract the annotation information from the annotation comments box and include it within the email. You review the Email Alert and notice that there is no Text Annotation environment variable listed as an available option.
Solution
Within the Email Alert action, several Email-specific variables are provided; however, all of the default environmental variables are available for you to utilize within the Arguments of your Action Setting. When using the "Text Annotation" trigger event, you can utilize the $ANNOTATIONTEXT variable to include the content within your Email Alert.
Add your new Email Action Setting
-
- Navigate to WebNative Admin > Database > Actions > New Setting
- Select the Email Action
- Set the Setting Name and Description to identify your new Email Action
- Adjust the Arguments section to customize the resulting email to your needs, including the $ANNOTATIONTEXT variable where you want the content to appear:
