DEPENDENCIES & INTEGRATION
|
|
|
|
* Views Send depends on Views.
|
|
* The module integrates features from:
|
|
o Mime Mail. When the Mime Mail module is enabled, the user can choose to send
|
|
rich HTML messages and/or use attachments.
|
|
o Tokens. When the Tokens module is enabled, the user can insert context tokens
|
|
into the subject or body of the message. Note that row-based tokens are
|
|
available even if Tokens module is disabled.
|
|
o Rules. When the Rules module is enabled, the user can define actions
|
|
for when emails are sent and/or placed in the spool.
|
|
