Hi everybody, In Ignition 7.7, I would like to send an email to only one user of my on-call roster according to a tag which was modified. For example : if tag1 \>10 --\> send email to "contact1@box.com" if tag2 \>10 --\>send email to “contact2@box.cm” etc… Can I do it in a script block ? I tried “system.net.sendEmail” function in a script block but I failed. Thanks for your help, ---

The exception is telling you that it’s expecting a String where you are using myaddress, but you are not giving it something it can turn into a string. If you post your declaration of myaddress (sanitized), the line where you are calling system.net.sendEmail, and the version of Ignition you are using, I can help you get that straightened out. ---

The ‘to’ address should be a list, even though it only has one item in it. Try [code]def handleAlarm(event): system.net.sendEmail(“mail.smtp.fr”,"alarmtest@smtp.fr",“test” ,“test” ,0 ,[“fb@mycompany.fr”])[/code] ---

Since I fail so badly in scripting, a way to get around this would be: In the gateway, Configure\>Alarming\>on call roster give each user a separate roster (contact1 and contact2) In your project create a separate alarm notification pipeline for each contact (CONTACT1 and CONTACT2) In your tag editor create a new alarm in each tag. Ex: Tag1 Mode: above setpoint, setpoint = 10 Then your notification active pipeline would be CONTACT 1 So each time your setpoint for that tag went above 10, it would send the notification to the CONTACT1 pipeline Where you can specify an e-mail notification be sent to your contact1 roster. ---

In Ignition 7.8, you won’t have to create different pipelines, because the rosters are expressions. (Assuming you’re more comfortable with expressions than scripting… ) ---

I’m still on 7.7, expressions are much more user friendly for me. Looking forward to upgrading. Thanks! ---

Hi, It’s better to put the sendEmail function in a Tag Script Event \> AlarmActive. You can send email to all recipients you want and add your conditions. I did it and it works perfectly.
