Use Cases

• In upper code <%---%> with your value
• To send plain mail replace <%CONTENT-TYPE%> with 'text/plain'
• To send html mail replace <%CONTENT-TYPE%> with 'text/html'
• Subsitue is used for replacing value used in your email for example in your email content <%USERNAME%> then your <%SUBSTITUE-1%> will be USERNAME and <%SUBSITUTE-1-VALUE%> will be the actual user name.
• <%FILE-PATH-1%> is used for file path for attachment you can add singel or multiple file total size of your mail should not be more that 30MB
• If there is no any attachment or substitute then you can avoid them.
