This example demonstrates how to implement compose and distribution of an email from within the context of an automated test in execution.

Worksoft SaaS is agnostic to the purpose these emails serve in the context of your business, be it a notification of a positive outcome or a negative outcome.

In this example, first the sender is set, then the subject, recipient list (to, cc, bcc), followed by the email body, and finally, the email is distributed. For email body, a simple text string is used. In real life, the email body usually is not that simple where static text satisfies your needs. Please refer to other examples that cover techniques that will help you build email bodies incrementally, including multi-part mime types (embedding screenshots, attaching files, etc).

Solution:

#	Command	Target	Value
To begin the email service block
1	emailBlockStart
To set the sender for the composed email
2	setSender	info@eureqatest.com
To set the subject for the composed  email
3	setSubject	Worksoft SaaS Notification: Issue identified
To set the ‘To’ recipient list for the composed email
4	setRecipientToList	recipient1@gmail.com
To set the ‘CC’ recipient list for the composed email
5	setRecipientCCList	recipient2@gmail.com, recipient3@gmail.com
To set the ‘BCC’ recipient list for the composed email
6	setRecipientBCCList	recipient4@gmail.com
To create the email body with a variable name
7	createBody	body_template
To create an email body part from Text or HTML string
8	createBodyPartFromTextOrHTML	Hi <mention recipient’s name here>,  <mention your body text here>	body_template
To get the instruction id for the last failed instruction
9	getIdentifierForLastFailedInstruction	screenshotid
To set the screenshot captured during the test run as an attachment to the email
10	setAttachmentScreenshot	${screenshotid}
To send the composed email to the sender’s specified in “To, CC and BCC” list
11	sendEmail
It indicates the end of an email block
12	emailBlockEnd

Tips, Tricks, Gotchas & Best Practices:  

• The subject can be a foreign language character.
• You can also use CSS styles like underlines, font color, and to highlight anything important in bold letters and the table background color in the email body to make the email look effective.

Representative Usage Scenarios for this Example:

Use Case #1:

Consider an e-commerce site https://www.amazon.com, add 5 or more products into the cart, verify the count of products in the shopping bag, proceed to checkout, add shipping details and complete payment method and then try to place an order.

In the above process, there are certain cases like

1. Products may or may not add into the cart 
2. Product may available or may not available or out of stock 
3. The payment process may successful or unable to process the payment details 
4. The Order may be placed or may not be placed 

If the user wants to capture all the above-mentioned cases w/ relevant details like product name, order number, payment details, etc.., an email can be customized using these commands and sent to the user using the email commands. This email can be customized in such a way that the screenshot of the last failed test instruction of the specified command will be sent as an attachment.
