Your best bet is to modify something like Email_RoundTrip or Email_TransitTime to just do the SMTP parts. You will still need to provide some email server to sent to, but it can be M365, gmail or whatever your company uses for email. You don’t need to setup a real email server for this.
I personally would do these types of tasks outside of LM. Like using a utility server to run scripts on a scheduled basis. But I understand if you don’t have access to something like that.
Thanks. I guess I will dig in and see what I can find. I dont really have a platform where I can easily do that from, and personally, I like that, as a config source in the portal, I like that if I get hit by a bus, someone else can see that the script exists and is running. Having something running from some unknown place elsewhere creates its own problems, for people who inherit things. :)
But I dont really have easy access to anything. I could call the API from a database I have access to, that can make that call, and get results, and send email from that database, but …. yuck. :)
I do wish that LM had a scripting platform, or a section called “Scripts” that you could just set up scheduled scripts on officially, instead of a CS workaround.
Thanks!
