I am using EmailRecipients () , and we have noticed that sometimes duplicate emails are being sent. I had one customer who said they received 10!

any ideas? My script is:

Set Variable [ $result ; Value:EmailConnectSMTP("smtp.gmail.com:465";"info@**********.com";"*********";"ssl=1") ]
If [ $result ≠ 1 ]
Show Custom Dialog [ Message: EmailLastError & ¶ & "Feedback emails failed! Password most likely wrong. Tell Doc."; Default Button: “OK”, Commit: “Yes” ]
Go to Layout [ original layout ]
Exit Script [  ]
End If
#send email to foundset
Go to Record/Request/Page [ First ]
Loop Set Variable [ $first ; Value:patients::first ]
Set Variable [ $email; Value:patients::email ]
Set Variable [ $subject; Value:$first & ", Happy Birthday from Colonial Family Eyecare!" ]
Set Variable [ $msgCreate ; Value:EmailCreate(  "info@************.com";patients::email  ;$subject ) and EmailSetBody( $$body)

Set Variable [ $setRecipients ; Value:EmailRecipients($email) ]
Set Variable [ $sent; Value:EmailSend ]

If [ $sent ≠ 1 ]
Show Custom Dialog [ Message: EmailLastError; Default Button: “OK”, Commit: “Yes” ; Button 2: “Cancel” , Commit: “No” ]
Else
End If
Go to Record/Request/Page [ Next; Exit after last ]
End Loop Set Variable [ $disconnect ; Value:EmailDisconnect ]
If [ $disconnect="ERROR" ]
Show Custom Dialog [ Message: EmailLastError; Default Button: “OK”, Commit: “Yes” ]
Exit Script [  ]
End If
 

 

 

 

 

Hi drrehak,

While I am not sure how a recipient could have received 10 of the same message, setting the recipient in the EmailCreate function call and then calling EmailRecipients with the same email address is somewhat redundant. I would think that the redundant call shouldn't send the email twice but it is the only thing I can see in your script that could potentially be causing the issue short of having multiple records for the same recipient in your found set. Comment out the Set Variable [ $setRecipients ; Value:EmailRecipients($email) ] script step and see if the issue persists.
