WorkFlow Not Working

💬 App Building

I am trying to issue emails from a table using Workflow.

The first graphic below shows the table (Email04) for generating the data.

The second graphic shows the workflow elements to generate the emails.

When I run Loop1 in the second Graphic nothing happens. No emails are generated.

What am I doing wrong?

Hey there @mdsmith1,

So, all of your blocks need to be connected to the start trigger, otherwise when thr workflow runs it will stop on the start trigger and wont move forward.

Here's a useful tutorial from retool's YouTube channel whixh seems to be doing exactly what you're doing

Thank you for the link. I had no idea that there are Retool clips on YouTube.

I thought the clip with Angelik was excellent.

I think these YouTube clips should get more publicity because there is really nothing like this in the Retool Documentation or Help Files. I am so glad you have helped me discover these.

But I should say that the bug I mentioned still exists. I think someone should look into this.

Thanks again.

Mike

Hi @mdsmith1, I think it's possible that the emails aren't getting sent because in the To field, you have the recipients' first names instead of their emails, so it should be {{ value.ToEmailAddress }}. If I try running a standalone email block without an email address in the To field, I would see an error of "No recipients defined", but that may be obscured by the loop block.

Yes. I discovered this myself. I have marked your answer as the solution.

I have the email process working find now.

Thanks again.
