Using System Variables to Dynamically Send Emails Based on the User

When you design a process that sends emails, SolveXia needs to know where (or who) to send the email to. This can be particularly important for processes that are shared and can be run by multiple people. Traditionally, this is done by either:

• Hard-coding the email recipient; or
• Using a data step property to parameterise the email recipient (such as a drop-down list of different email addresses).

To make your process more dynamic, you can use system variable properties to identify and automatically send emails to the user that is running the process. To do this:

1. Either open or create a new data step and add a new system variable property.

2. Open or create a new "send an email" action step. Link the "To" field to the system variable property that you created in the previous step.

The step (configured in point 2 above) will now automatically route emails to the address of whoever is running the process. Note: The email address of the user is set at the time of account creation and can be changed by client administrators (see how).
