How to send an e-mail in the PROMOTIC application

CDO.Message

is an ActiveX object that is part of Windows OS. It allows you to use a simple interface and, upon successful login to the SMTP server, send an e-mail in text or HTML format with an attachment. The downside is that it does not support some higher forms of authentication. This technology is used in Preconfiguration "Sending the e-mails by the application".

PowerShell

Windows PowerShell is more advanced successor of the command line. See How to use PowerShell. It also allows to send e-mails in both text and HTML format with attachment after authentication on the SMTP server. And like the CDO.Message, it does not support some higher forms of authentication at this moment. This technology is used in Preconfiguration "Sending the e-mails by the application".

cURL

cURL is a computer software project providing a library (libcurl) and a command-line tool (cURL) for downloading files using various network protocols. The name stands for "Client for URL", or "Curl URL Request Library". It supports a number of common protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, LDAP, RTMP, Gopher, DICT, Telnet, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and RTSP. The project is written in C, cross-platform and released under the MIT licence. As of December 2017, the cURL command-line tool is shipped directly with Windows 10 by MICROSOFT. This technology is used in Preconfiguration "Sending the e-mails by the application".

Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a client application for managing emails, calendars and contacts. It supports all kinds of authentication on SMTP server. It would also allow you to pre-fill the address and content of the email you are sending from the command line (and also from of the PROMOTIC application) using parameters. The disadvantage is that the e-mail prepared in this way cannot be sent without manual confirmation. This technology is used in Preconfiguration "Sending the e-mails by the application".
