 I am using this code to send out multiple reports to multiple recipients.  The problem is that it's only sending the first report to the multiple recipients.

EXAMPLE:

 

User1@xx.com - Should get Report #1

User2@xx.com - Should get Report #1

 

User1@xxcom - Should get Report #2

User2@xx.com - Should get Report #2

 

What's happening is that User1@xx.com and User2@xx.com will get Report #1 twice.  Report #2 is never picked up and mailed out to recipients.

Just curious: Why use a CHOOSE CASE if you only have one case?

Using CHOOSE CASE because there are several reports.

Have you debugged your code?

Yes, we have debugged the code and it appeared that it should do what's expected, but does not.

 

What happens if you only do the SendRequest('POST' with a single attachment, trying to send the second one)?

If we choose one report to go to several recipients, it works as expected.  It will send that one report to several recipients.

The problem come in when there's more than one report to email out.  For example, if two reports needs to go to two recipients, the code will send the first report to both recipients twice.  It never sends out the second report.

Hi,

this is why I think it has something to do with the way you concatenate the attachments. As I've said already, I don't know anything about this way of sending email. We either use smtp, not using an http client or by using ole.

Sorry, I can't be of more help on this one.

regards.

2nd is not sent or first one doesn't get cleared. May be the code is sending only the first attachment and leave out the other attachments. Have you checked whether the first attachment is cleared in the loop, if any.

Unless you already have documentation that clearly states that what you are wanting to do is supported by the web API or you have working code from a non-PB implementation, I suggest you contact the publisher to verify that what you are attempting is valid. It might not be possible.

Do you have any information about the api https://mailapi.dob.texas.gov/api/mail/sendmailattachment on how to send multiple attachements in one go?

No, I do not. But, I will ask the developer who created that API.

Yes, that's a very good start! Maybe it just needs some special separator / who knows!
