Delivers - Send Requests to an External Email

Question

Is there a way to send a request in an iBot to an external email. So if the user does not exist in the Catalog and hence has no Active Delivery profile. Can one still send the request to an external user's email? Thanks

Answer 1

You can try the following :
1) create a user in the rpd for each of your vendor
2) create an int block to hold supplier name or similar in a variable
3) create answers request on sa subject area, puling back the vendors you want in your mailing list
4) optionally filter the report you want to send out using your vendor variables
5) create an ibot, using conditional request to return your mailing list, the output report is set for email profile and to "rus as user" not the user of the ibot
The users get authenticated with the RPD and the email address is pulled from your SA System table which contains email addresses for the vendor logins in your RPD.
I've done the above set up in the past, Here is the UDML to create RPD users if you have a lot to create ?
DECLARE USER "NewUser" AS "NewUser" UPGRADE ID 1 FULL NAME {New User} PASSWORD
