The most common method of distributing reports with Qalyptus is email. Qalyptus offers multiple options for configuring the email that will be sent to recipients.
To configure the email that will be sent to users at the end of report generation, follow the steps below:
Go to the Email tab after creating a task.
Check the option Send email.
Enter the sender's email address in the From field. This field is by default complèted with your SMTP sender email address.
cautionIf you want to update the sender's email address for a task, ensure that your SMTP server accepts sending emails with this address.
In the CC and BCC fields, you can add a static list of email addresses separate with a comma or using a Qlik Sense variable.
By default, Qalyptus sends a separate email to each task recipient. Check the option One email to all recipients to send one email to all the task recipients.
