Technical Notes

When the "Mail no" parameter is set to -1, the activity will iterate through and forward every email within the specified dataset starting from the oldest entry. If "Is HTML?" is enabled, the "Message" field accepts standard HTML tags for rich text formatting. Ensure that delimiters for multiple email addresses (commas or semicolons) align with the requirements of the specific mail service provider being utilized.
