Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

  • Suggestion icon (): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.

  • Add icon (): Indicates that you can add fields in the field set.

If you do not provide a user/shared mailbox, the mailbox associated with the user account of the OAuth2 User account (signed in user) is considered. However, if you use an OAuth2 Application account, you must select a User/Shared Mailbox to send emails.

If the object referenced by this property is not a map data nor an array of map data, the input document is routed to the error view.

Batch size

 

Default Value: 100
Example: 50

Integer

Specify the batch size to use only for the HTML TABLE Email Body Type. The unit of the value is in the number of rows of the HTML table. If the number of documents the Snap receives from the input view reaches the specified batch size, the Snap composes an email message with an HTML table and sends it to the server. Multiple emails are generated, if needed, to send out all documents. The Snap sends the last message at the end of the Pipeline execution if any unsent table rows remain.

  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.

Examples

Send Emails using the Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account

The example below demonstrates how to configure the Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account to send an email using the Send Email Snap.

Download this pipeline.

Prerequisite: Assign Mail.Send permission to the specific user in the registered application in the Azure portal.

Configure the Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account with the Mail.Send permission for Authentication parameter value to allow the user to send emails.

When you click the User/Shared MailBox suggestion in the Send Email Snap settings, the field populates a single email ID, which means that only one user shares the mailbox.

Send Emails using the Exchange Online OAuth2 Application Account

The example below demonstrates how to configure the Exchange Online OAuth2 Application Account to send an email using the Send Email Snap.

Download this pipeline.

The Exchange Online OAuth2 Application Account, by default, has all the permissions provided by Microsoft.

When you click on the User/Shared MailBox suggestions in the Snap settings, the field populates all the users of the mailbox as shown below:
