Sending email messages based on record data FileMaker Pro lets you create email messages based on record data. You can: • send one email to a single address or multiple addresses. See Sending one email message. • send separate, customized email messages based on each record in the found set. See Sending multiple email messages. • create a script that sends email. See Creating scripts to automate tasks and Send Mail script step. • send a snapshot link of a found set of records. See Saving and sending records as a snapshot link. Generated email is sent using your default email application or directly through SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a set of criteria for sending and receiving email). Send email through SMTP, for example, if no email application is installed on your computer. To send email, you must have an internet connection. In addition, to send mail on Windows through an email application, you must also have Microsoft Outlook or Windows Mail installed and configured properly on your computer. To send email on Macintosh through an email application, you must have Microsoft Outlook or OS X Mail installed and configured properly on your computer.
