Email Digest - Community Postings Section

This dynamic section is intended to alert recipients that there is one or more new postings available in the recipient's Connect communities. This dynamic section can be configured to display the details of each new posting. If there has not been a new community posting that is available to the user since the last digest was delivered, then this section is not included in the email digest for the user.

This section is only available to organizations using New Connect.

Repeater Tags

Administrators can use repeater tags to repeat information for each item in the email digest.

Because non-standard sections are designed to display a digest of information in a single section, repeater tags must be placed before and after all of the content that should be repeated for each item in the digest. For a section that displays all of the items assigned to a user, then the repeater tags should be placed before and after the content and tags that describe each individual assigned item, such as title and due date.

The following repeater tags should be placed before and after the content that should be repeated:

  • {LIST.BEGIN} - This tag should be placed at the beginning of the content that should be repeated for each item.
  • {LIST.END} - This tag should be placed at the end of the content that should be repeated for each item.
