Using List of Text to insert multiple email address written on one field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Fong Fong 50

Hi,

I have variable list of text below

ListEmailTo: List of [Text];

There's a field contain email address in customer called "E-Mail" which sometime add user ";" as email address separator.

For example :

email1@hotmail.com;email2@gmail.com

I added them via

ListEmailTo.Add(Customer."E-Mail");

Then send them using codeunitSMTP.CreateMessage.

It seems there's error because it doesn't recognize them as two email addresses.

But if i just input one of them like 'email1@hotmail.com', it worked just fine.

Is there a proper way to send to multiple address using list of text ? or do i have to separate each of them and add one by one to each index of List of Text ?

Thank you.

    Hi Fong Fong,

    can send a mail to two ; separated mail addresses within the application directly when you enter them in a page?

    What version of Dynamics NAV or Business Central are you using?

    Hi,

    If you are taking from customer what is the need to use list. Just copy from customer card in a text variable and then send it to CreateMessage procedure.

    On customer card if email addresses ate separated with ; then system will treat them as different email addresses.

    HI,

    with BC 17.1 I can add several receipients to an e-mail.

    Mail.CreateMessage('Sender name', 'sending@from.com', 'Test1@toaddress.com', 'Test email', 'Test email body', True);
    MailRecp.Add('Test2@toaddress.com');
    MailRecp.Add('Test3@toaddress.com');
    mail.AddRecipients(MailRecp);
    Mail.Send;

    I was facing the same issue..

    Somehow managed to find a solution that works.

    What worked for me was

    var CustEmailText : Text;
var To_list : List of [Text];
begin
...

CustEmailText := Customer."E-Mail";
ToList.AddRange(CustEmailText.Split(';'));

...
end;


    Text.Split will output a list 

    Hope it helps. 
    Mark as Solution if it does.

    Thanks,
