When specifying email address values in the parameters above, expression statements are to be used.

For a simple hard coded email address, an expression containing a constant value suffices:

Code Block
"romeo@example.org"

The parameters addresses-to-expr, addresses-cc-expr or addresses-bcc-expr can deal with a list of values. In that case, the expression should reflect this:

Code Block
["romeo@example.org", "juliet@example.com"]

Using the expression, addresses can be retrieved:

Code Block
COLLECT person.mailaddress FROM ALL person WHERE (person.mailaddress != ?)

The AQ_MailService supports adding phrases to mail addresses (where the 'phrase' typically is a for humans readable identifier of the mail address. The format for an email address using a phrase is: Romeo <romeo@example.org>

Typically, phrases can be surrounded by the double-quote character ("). Within Blueriq, this character signifies the beginning or end of an expression. To prevent problems, the AQ_MailService accepts unquoted phrases (before submitting a message to an email server, the AQ_MailService makes sure that all phrases are properly formatted). As a result, each of these examples are valid mail address definitions within the AQ_MailService:

Code Block
"Romeo <romeo@example.org>"
"Romeo Capulet <romeo@example.org>"
"Capulet, R. <romeo@example.org>"
["Romeo <romeo@example.org>", "Juliet <juliet@example.com>"]
["Romeo Capulet <romeo@example.org>", "Juliet Montague <juliet@example.com>"]
["Capulet, R. <romeo@example.org>", "Montague, J. <juliet@example.com>"]

Properties

Some AQ_MailService parameters can be set in the

titleapplication.properties
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.smtp=exampleDomain.com (for the smtp-host parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.smtpport=25 (for the smtp-port parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.username=userName (for the smtp-user parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.password=password (for the smtp-password parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.usetls=true (for the use-tls parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.fromaddress=test@yourDomain.com (for the address-from parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.toaddresses=test1@example.com (for the addresses-to-expr parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.ccaddresses=test2@example.com (for the addresses-cc-expr parameter)
blueriq.connection.[AQ_MailService name from Studio].email.bccaddresses=test3@example.com (for the addresses-bcc-expr parameter)

Default mail connection properties

As of Blueriq 12.5, it is also possible to define a default mail connection. When a AQ_MailService connection name is not defined in the properties, the runtime will fall back on the defined default property. The default properties can be defined as shown in the following example. When a specific property for an AQ_MailService is not defined, it will fall back on the default properties. If no default properties are set, it will fall back on the Studio parameters.

When you want to send an email from a different address or alias, then you need to configure that on the mail service.

Here is the documentation on how to do that for gmail: https://support.google.com/a/answer/22370?hl=en

When this is not set correctly, you will experience that the mail send from the mail address that is configured for authentication with TLS.
