Sending mail in FME Desktop


In FME Desktop, how can we send an email to the desired audience once the translation is successfully complete? Its possible in FME server, but can anyone help on this if its possible using FME desktop as well? And if yes, then how can we achieve it?

Hi Max,

 

 

There are Shutdown Python Script examples for sending e-mail.

 

FME Workbench Help >> Startup and Shutdown Python Scripts (http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Workbench/FME_Workbench.htm#Workbench/Startup_and_Shutdown_Python_Scripts.htm)

 

FMEpedia > Python and FME Basics (http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Python-and-FME-Basics)

 

 

And seeing implementation of the PythonEmailer transformer from the FME Store may be helpful.

FME 2016 makes this much easier

Often you want to write data and then after the writing is successful, you want to send an email, sometimes with the data attached.

The pattern for this is:

  • One or more FeatureWriter transformers connected to
  • a single Sampler transformer that is configured to send along only one feature to
  • an Emailer transformer that sends the email
