appending characters to a keyword to form an email address

Is their an easy way to form an email address from a keyword while appending different characters to the keyword to send to that specific email address? The picture below explains what I'm trying to do.

Example:

We are capturing the ID number as a keyword. (123456)

Their email address is their IDnumber+abc@company.com (123456abc@company.com)

They are not internal users so I cannot go that route. Our database is ancient so I cannot do an autofill on it.

The new action "Prop - Set Property to Expression" will work for this. It's only available in core-based interfaces, though.

Hello,

I would probably use the Set Property to Expression action in workflow to build the expression then I would populate the keyword based upon the value in the property.  Then I would set up my notification to use that keyword value as the recipient.

Good luck,

As suggested before, you can use an expression to build your email address.

  

 

But you don't need to move the value to a keyword in 12.0+.  If you're using Workflow Studio (OnBase Studio in v13), then you can just set the recipient to the resulting property from your PROP - Set Property to Expression action.
