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.

I have the same question (0)

    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,

    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;

    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 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?
