1. Send the required files to PlanetPress Workflow: the template that contains the Email
context, and any data mapping configuration that you want to use to extract data from a
data file. See: "Sending files to Workflow" on page446.
Note
If the input data is JSON, a data mapping configuration isn't needed.
2. Create a process in PlanetPress Workflow. See: "Email processes with OL Connect
tasks" on page184.
Aborting content creation
You may want the content creation process to be aborted in certain situations; for example,
when a template script fails to load remote content. To abort the content creation process, you
may raise a fatal error from within a script in the template; see "fatalError(message)" on
page1278.
When a script calls this function in Preview mode, the script that triggers it is marked with an
error icon in the Scripts pane, and the given message is displayed in a hint.
When generating output from the Designer, the Designer will log the error and display an error
dialog with the given message. Content creation is aborted.
When generating output from Workflow, the entire job fails. Workflow will log the error and
execute any follow-up actions that are defined in the On Error tab of the respective OL Connect
Content Creation task (All in One, Create Email Content, Create Print Content, Create Preview
PDF, Create Web Content and Render Email Content). For more information about how to set
up follow-up actions, see Using the On Error tab in the Workflow Help.
