You use this step type to send a mail to different recipients. You define the text and subject of the mail when defining the step. You can use variables in the text, which are filled from the task container at runtime.

This step type replaces the wizard Include "Send mail".

In the workflow definition such a step type is represented with the symbol .

The step definition is spread across several tab pages. To define an executable step, you only have to complete the tab page Mail. You enter the recipients and the text of the mail on this tab page. During step definition, the system requests an abbreviation and a name for a new task, which the system creates and assigns to the step.

The system creates a task automatically, which sends the mail. The text to be sent is stored with the task. The system creates the variables used within the step definition in the task container and defines a binding from the workflow container to the task container for them.

The tab page Change data displays when the step was last changed, and by whom.
