Email Contact Nodes in Policy Designer

An Email Contact node represents an action to send an email message. When an Email Contact node is executed, an email message with a summary of the policy execution will be sent to the specified recipient(s). Emails sent via this node use the From address specified in the Email Settings section of Operations Manager.

Node Properties

The Properties window for an Email Contact node contains the items that are described in the following table.

Item	Description	Notes
To Address section	The email address(es) to which the message should be sent.	You can select to specify the output of a predecessor node in this section. When you specify a constant value, you can enter one or more email addresses directly in the text box, or you can select the button to select a recipient via the Choose Users window. If you enter more than one email address in the text box, each email address must be separated by a comma or semicolon.
Message section	Content that you want to include in the email message in addition to the summary of the policy execution (which is always included automatically).	You can select to specify the output of a predecessor node in this section.
