Does Email/Print pull email from People Picker?

[Jonathan Stamper]

I built a function to grab specific people picker fields and generate their emails in a variable that I then call via {var:myEmailVar}. It works but there are some users where it will not generate the email (maybe something with either their browser, network config or domain settings)…actually may be part of the doc lib folder rename issue I mentioned earlier in the vLookup thread.

In my debugging it looks like dffs already does an email scrape from people picker fields. I wanted to confirm and if so I would assume that would be a better approach to my current function.

Hi,
Yes, in an email template DFFS will pull the email from the user(s) if you add the internal name of the people picker in the To or Cc field like this:

{name_of_field}

Yeah, I just tested it and it worked very well. I ended up setting multiple {internalFieldName} parts, separated by comma, in the to and cc and it’s working well. Looks like I get to clean up my code a little ha-ha.

Thank you so much! As always! Pizza on me ha-ha!

I’m glad it worked out.

Have a great weekend,
Alexander
