Email as Output Destination

Step 1: Choose email as the output destination

Step 2: Make sure that your data source is set up to record your desired recipient emails

You can use commas to separate and submit multiple recipient emails (up to 5).

1. Using FormSG

• Ensure that there is a question in your FormSG to collect recipient emails
• In the docCentral portal, when you have selected Email as an output destination, you will be asked to select the FormSG question that collects your intended recipient emails. Select the FormSG question accordingly
• Important note: You do not need to have a [recipient_email] placeholder in your Word Document template, unless you wish for the recipient email to be generated inside the document as well.

2. CSV

• The generated CSV template will automatically include a [recipient_email] column if you select Email as an output destination. Simply fill this column up with the email addresses of your intended recipients.
• Important note: You do not need to have a [recipient_email] placeholder in your Word Template, unless you wish for the recipient email to be generated inside the document as well.

3. Webhook: Ensure that there is a recipient_email field.

Step 3: Customising other options

1. Selecting document format

The output document can be generated in .docx or .pdf format.

2. Customising final email message

You may customise the content in the email which your recipients receive to send additional information or instructions alongside the attached document. If you do not customise an email message, recipients will simply receive the generic email message.

The customised message will appear in a grey box, which will look like this in the email:

You can also preview the email that will be sent out by clicking on the “Preview” button on the bottom left.
