Save or hold emails

Save or hold emails

It is possible in InterformNG2 to either save or hold the emails.

The reasons why you would like to do that could be to e.g. save an email in an archive or e.g. generate an email in status held, so that you can verify the contents before enabling workflow in production.
Save email as eml file
A way to save an email is to generate an eml file and then save that. If you only want to keep the email in InterformNG2 you can also consider to enable the InterformNG2 email log.

If you want to save the email as eml, then you can use the workflow component, Create eml with PDF to create an EML file in the payload. Then you can save the payload in various way including: To Filesystem. You can also send the eml file with the component, To email server.
Keep the email in the email log
If you want to keep the outgoing emails in InterformNG2, then you can use the email log for that. 

You set for how long the emails should be kept in the email log setup.
Delay emails so they can be cancelled
If you want to build emails, but still need an option to later cancel the email, then you should consider the workflow component, PDF delayed email. With this the email are temporarily stored in InterformNG2 and only sent when the workflow component, Send emails from delay queue is run.

It is however possible to cancel a generated email (before it has been sent) with the workflow component, Cancel delayed email.
Create email in hold status, verify email and send held email from the email log
It is possible to create emails in status: Held. That means, that the emails will not be sent out, but kept in the email log.

A prerequisite for this is, that the email log has been enabled.

The hold option is found on the email workflow components e.g. Create PDF email:

In the email log you can then later download the email (as an eml file) and release and send the email after you e.g. have verified the contents.
