Configure a dynamic email delivery endpoint

In PI AF 2017 R2, you can configure an email delivery endpoint as a value of an attribute. This provides an additional flexibility in situations where notification emails can be sent to different recipients without making changes to the notification rule template. To configure a dynamic email delivery endpoint and add an email subscriber to your notification rule, follow this procedure. For a conventional email delivery endpoint configuration, see Configure an email delivery endpoint.

1. Navigate to the element that you want to receive the notifications from and add an attribute with your email address as a value.

   The value of this attribute must be a string. You can enter multiple email addresses delimited by comma.

2. Navigate to Notification Rules tab to configure and add an email delivery endpoint as a subscriber to your notification rule.

   1. Click View/Edit subscriptions in the Subscriptions pane of the notification rule.

   2. Click Create a new dynamic endpoint under Dynamic Endpoints.

   3. Select an email attribute configured in step 1.

   4. Click Create.

   5. Drag and drop the configured contact from the Contacts to the Subscriptions pane.

   6. Click OK.

3. Go to Contacts plug-in to edit or delete a configured delivery endpoint.

   It will be found in Delivery Endpoints folder.

   • The email attribute endpoint can be edited from the Subscriptions pane as well.

   • Test button in the Contacts plug-in is not supported for an attribute-based endpoint at this time.
