Email Export

Use the Email Export component to prevent end users from accessing the export assets straight from the viewer. In this case, download is triggered through a button on the ShapeDiver platform but instead of downloading the file locally it is sent to the email address(es) specified in the definition.

Except for the email inputs, this component works identically as the Download Export component. Read more details about the different export options and the limitations of the component in the documentation page about Download Export.

Component inputs

The first three inputs Data (D), Options (O) and Name (N) work identically as in the Download Export component. Read more about this component here.

The other inputs of the component are specific to the Email export. See below:

• To: A list of at most five email addresses to send the email to.

• CC: A list of at most five email addresses to include in CC.

• BCC: A list of at most five email addresses to include in BCC.

• Subject: A subject for the sent email.

• Body: The body of the sent email. It can be configured to include the parameters chosen by the end user, which will be pasted in the email when using the __PARAMS__ placeholder (note that __PARAMS__ contains two leading and two trailing underscores).

• Attach Export: Whether to attach the exported file directly in the email. This is possible in case the file is smaller than 25MB. In any case, a link to download the file from our servers will be included in the email, but this link expires after 7 days.

• Attach JSON: Whether to attach a json file containing the parameter values corresponding to the exported files. This JSON file can be used on the platform or directly in Grasshopper to load the configuration that led to the export.
