How to use people/group picker to send emails

Hello all,
Forgive me on my lack of understanding this subject. I've read multiple articles and it is driving me crazy! All I need to do is have a user select someone from "people/group picker", click a button and the person selected gets an email. That is
it!
I need a simple set of instructions. Help!

Hello,
You need several things:
a view that contains the form and text for the email body (Email view)
a data connection to "Submit to Email"
a data connection to GetUserProfileByName
Re 1: create a view with the field controls and the text that you want to email. Alternatively, if the email is all static text, you can enter it in the email body in step 2.
Re 2: create a data connection to submit to email: on the Data ribbon click the
To Email button and follow the prompts. You can go back later to modify the data connection, change the fields and configure them to receive data from your form. Set the "To" field to receive its value from a field in the form (emailHelper)
Re 3: When the button is clicked, you need to get the user's email address from the UserProfile service. The steps are explained in this page http://sharepointisland.wordpress.com/tag/getuserprofilebyname/ and
consist of setting up a data connection to the User Profile Service "_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL"
on the site, feeding the user AccountID into the query field, querying the service. After that the data connection contains the user's data and you can filter it with the "WorkEmail" parameter. 
This is the value that you need to put into the "To" field of the "Submit to Email" data connection. You may want to store the field in the emailHelper field and then point the "To" field to emailHelper.
The button to send the email is on the Users view and should contain these actions
set a fields value - User Account ID to the GetUserProfileByName query field
query a data connection - the GetUserProfileByName connection
Set a field's value - the emailHelper field to the GetUserProfileByName field filtered by Name = WorkEmail
Switch to the Email View
Submit to Email data connection
Switch back to Users view
cheers, teylyn

    x=    1        send email to   pp@....
    y=    1        send email to   gg@....
    The web report is ready, now how can i use the bex broadcasting to do this funtion, please step by step, i'll really appreciate it! thanks !

    Hi Jorge,
    I am not a guru still would like to answer your query...
    You selected Broadcast by E-Mail as the distribution type when you created the broadcast setting then need to send to your systems administrator, he is the one who is responsibile to make this if and then functions coordinate with him-> Various settings need to be made in system administration in order to use information broadcasting. Furthermore, there are a number of broadcast functions that can be made by business experts and in system administration.
    If you want to guide him then.. when you make the precalculations for setting the broadcast there in Variable Assignment you can mention this as a formula
    Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
    Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened
    To be honest I think Basis should help you trace where exactly to mention such request...

  • SharePoint 2013 People Picker to Send Email

    I am having trouble finding a solid answer so I'm hoping someone here has it. Some questions get close, but something isn't matching up.
    Here is the need:
    User fills out a form in a SharePoint list. (the form does not ever open in InfoPath, though that is where it is designed)
    User selects an Account Manager using a People Picker field. This works just fine.
    User submits the form.
    The submit button has rules that send the email to a user, the same Account Manager that is selected in the people picker.
    I cannot use a workflow for this because the form is already designed and lots of time
    has been put into all the rules and controls on it. The form must be used.
    I've been able to use the secondary data connection method to query the User Information List and I did get that to work, but only in the preview mode of InfoPath 2010. I'm thinking the query doesn't ever happen while editing/submitting the form on the SharePoint
    web site. If the User Information List query would work while on the SharePoint website view of the form, that would be the missing link. Is that something one could do?
    What am I missing? I feel like it should be easier than this to send to an email address based on a people picker selection.
    Thanks for the assistance,
    Colton

    Within the InfoPath client, you should be able to define the data connection to pull from the UPA (http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx), then use a Submit action
    to send email to the user in the PeoplePicker control.

  • How to use transaction SOST & SCOT for checking Email performance ?

    How to use transaction SOST & SCOT for checking Email performance ?
    what exactly as CRM Functional we have to do in above transaction .
    Please guide me . what is significance of these transaction ?
    Regards,
    Anup Reche

    Hi Anup,
    Transaction SOST is used to view the status of the sent mails from SAP.
    You cna filter the mails sent by a particular user, on a specified date range and time.
    You can list the mails in the status Waiting, Error, Sent or Transmitted.
    You can also go to the log of the mail and see its details and can also open the mail sent by the user.
    You can add the filters as per your requirement.
    Transaction SCOT is SAP Connect used to make connections from SAP to external applications.
    You cna configure sending of external mails in SCOT by specifying the SMTP host and port to be used.
    Hope this gives you a basic idea of the 2 transactions.

    Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
    Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
    Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
    You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
    Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Mail Format tab.
    3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
    Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
    Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • I have 2 macbooks using airport.  I can send emails from 1 mac to the other but not vice versa.  Any ideas why?

    When we set up the airport we used to be able to send emails from my macbook to my husband's macbook and vice versa but can't now.  We have different email addresses and it was convenient to be able to forward emails etc. Can anyone tell me if it is the airport or the way we have our macs set up.  Thank you.

    I really don't think it's the router. Most likely, it will have to do with the email client that you are using on each of your Macs. Unless you are running an eMail server on your local network, both of your eMail clients are using mail servers on the Internet.
    If you are both using OS X Mail, you may want to post in that forum area as well to see if the Mail experts over there can help.

  • Can i use SWE_EVENT_CREATE or SWO1 to send email with attachement

    hi guysm
    is there any way i can use SWE_EVENT_CREATE or SWO1 to send email with attachment

    Hi EJ,
    I doubt if SWE_EVENT* can attach, neither can SWO1.
    You could either send it thru SO_*  FM said by sapient, or in SWU_START_WORKFLOW you can pass your attachment to the ATTACHMENT_LIST table.
    Hope it helps.

  • Sharepoint Designer always crashes when using the Sharepoint people/group picker in a Workflow

    SharePoint designer 2013 (sp1) crashes consistently when doing the following:
    Create workflow
    Create email action
    In the email To field select People/Groups from SharePoint site
    SharePoint Designer crashed and says "Microsoft SharePoint Designer has stopped working"
    This issue has been reported before in SharePoint 2010 on TechNet as a bug in the software, but with no proper resolution.  I am very surprised that it is still an issue in 2013 version (sp1 which was released Feb 2014) and Microsoft have not tried
    to address this.
    I have read elsewhere that the fix for this is to only have a single IIS binding for the site being used (ie not have additional alternate access mappings).  However this is not possible for us as we need the additional alternate access mappings.
    Any help/suggestions gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Bill W

    One way is as you mentioned try the below link
    http://xblogs.kompas-xnet.si/post/SharePoint-Designer-2013-Crashing-when-using-select-peoplegroups-from-SharePoint-site.aspx
    Instead of  setting people picker's Return field as "As String" could you please try setting the return field as Email Address
