Email Draft Output

im_thatoneguy · November 22, 2011, 7:20pm

I’m wanting our Draft Template to send out an email with the draft Thumbstrip attached. Should I just do that through Python in the template or is there a good framework in deadline for sending out email notifications with attachments?

deadlinecommand has an option to send emails called “sendemail”:

C:\Users\Ryan>deadlinecommand help sendemail

SendEmail                     Sends an email
  [-to <Email>]               TO email address
  [-subject <Subject>]        The subject
  [-message <Message>]        The message, or the path to the file that
                              contains the message
  [-cc <Email>]               CC email address (optional)
  [-attach <Attachment>]      Attachment file (optional)

You could just launch this process from the script.

Cheers,

Ryan
